The method of judicial appointments

This article was published on August 2, 1926 in "Warsaw Judicial Gazette" ("Gazeta Sądowa Warszawska") as a summary of the discussion on the method of judicial appointment that appeared in Gazette as well as in other publications from 1923 to 1926. It presents the state of the discussion and the models that existed both historically and at the time that article was written. The article complements the data presented above in the article by Professor Eugeniusz Waśkowski.

The author - Stanisław Car (1882-1938) - was a distinguished lawyer from Warsaw who in 1924 founded the "Palestra" magazine in Warsaw, published a lot, and was active in legal and social circles. He was also closely related to Marshal Józef Piłsudski. He is widely known for his later political activity, political and legal reforms, disgraceful interpretations of the law and as a co-creator of the April Constitution of 1935. History did not put him in the positive light. One gets the impression that he was held responsible for most of the sins of Piłsudski's camp. He was especially hated by the National Democrats and communists. There is no doubt, however, that he was an excellent lawyer, an erudite, and an expert in many areas of knowledge. When this article was published, Stanisław Car was the Head of the Civil Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland Ignacy Mościcki (previously he held this position during the presidency of Gabriel Narutowicz and in the first year of Stanisław Wojciechowski's office).
