The present textbook is the first attempt to provide a concise overview
of the history of state and law in Slovakia in a form understandable to
the broadest group of readers, both professionals and laymen. It was the
intention of the authors that the target community of users is not limited
to Slovaks, but that it also includes all those, who, for any reason, want
to know about the key events in the Slovak history in general and also
about the facts seen from the perspective of the history of state and law.
Under this, we mean primarily all foreigners who are interested in knowing
about and studying the positive law prevailing in Slovakia and to see it in
the necessary historical context, which significantly contributes to a better
understanding of the facts.
