abstract
The phenomenon of publishing judicial decisions (case law) shall draw a substantially massive attention based on thorough legal research. For a thorough and complete mapping the publication of court decisions in the Czech legal environment should be quintessential to work with primary sources of information. The edited text of judgments have been forming an essential part in the practical process of application of law since the early stages of modern legal practice in the late 18th century. During our legal history judicial texts were overwhelmingly issued in the form of case law collections. The other way how to disclose judicial texts went through publishing in various periodicals. The situation after having declared the new independent Czechoslovak state in the year 1918 has not changed dramatically. One profound alteration occurred, since for the first time in modern legal history appeared new official and semi-official collections of case law in the Czech language. The sum of new special designed case law book collections had surged in immense fashion. Intensive number of new private collections or special law journals had been founded besides the official ones. Traditional style of editing individual case annotations as well as complete collections was inherited from the time of Austro-Hungerian monarchy. The tradition and style of case law publication had been lasting through the times of occupation till new socialist regime took over. The crucial breaking point then occurred. Vast number of traditional publications had not survived postwar era. The rest was diminished with total new socialistic approach to case law. One and only preferred new official collection was funded. The new law periodicals had been deliberately ignoring case law annotations in predominant fashion.
