The publication you are currently reading is an output of the International Meeting of PhD Students of Legal History and Roman Law that took place at the Masaryk University Faculty of Law in Brno on 8 and 9 September 2022. The idea for regular meetings of the youngest generation of legal historians and Roman law experts in the Czech and Slovak Republics was the brainchild of Karel Schelle and Jaromír Tauchen at the Department of the History of the State and Law in 2013. In the following years they welcomed PhD students from our fields and other Czech and Slovak law faculties, meaning that this year’s international “PhD conference” in Brno had something on which to build. The published papers are sorted in chronological order, not alphabetical, and reflect the current professional level of the youngest generation of representatives of European legal history and Roman law.
