Abstract

The paper presents the analysis of political changes and changes in the justice system happening in Poland in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Based on source materials, the Author provides an insight look at the legislative work done by Tadeusz Mazowiecki’s government in order to reform the judiciary and presents the role of various actors in proposing specific changes, e.g. a postulate of changes in staff in courts and prosecutors’ offices. The Author also addresses the issue of the long-term consequences of the state of Polish judiciary, shaped under Mazowiecki’s government, whose effects are still present in the current political debate regarding the changes made in the justice system by the government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
