Importance of Teaching German for Legal Purposes at Croatian Law Faculties

The paper deals with the role of foreign languages in the curricula of Croatian law faculties with special reference to German and English as languages for legal purposes. The author attempts to prove the importance of German for lifelong learning in the field of law by researching into the bibliography used by Croatian legal theorists and practitioners in the papers they published in legal journals of the Faculty of Law in Osijek and the Faculty of Law in Rijeka from 1991 to 2003. Based on this research and on analysis of historical and legal facts concerning the German and Austrian legal systems and their influence on Croatian law, the specific task of this paper is to prove the importance of teaching German for legal purposes at Croatian law faculties, not only for historical, but also for practical and professional reasons.
