European Legal Values: Values, Ideas and Intellectual Heritage in Legal Scholarship was an international scientific conference organized by the Central European Academy of the University of Miskolc within the framework of the European Legal Values research project conducted by the St. Hedwig Research Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference was devoted to distinguished scholars whose work in legal and related sciences was grounded in axiology and in the conviction that values are indispensable for understanding, interpreting, and developing the law. Particular attention was given to the intellectual legacy of Professor Zbigniew Cie\u015blak, the late Professor Grzegorz J\u0119drejek, and the late Professor Lech Morawski, whose reflections on public law, civil and family law, and the theory of law and the foundations of the state continue to shape contemporary legal scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A distinctive feature of the conference was that the scholarly achievements and intellectual heritage of these eminent jurists were presented and discussed by their former students, collaborators, and academic successors. Through their contributions, the conference not only revisited the ideas developed by these scholars but also demonstrated their continuing relevance to contemporary legal discourse and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rationale for the discussion was the growing need to reassess the role of values in legal scholarship and practice in an era marked by profound social, political, and technological transformations. Accordingly, the conference examined how axiological foundations inform legal reasoning, public institutions, and the interpretation of law across different branches of legal science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The individual perspectives emerging from the presentations were subsequently brought together during the concluding roundtable discussion entitled Legal Values and Axiology, Morality, Theory of Law, Religion, and Administration. The debate provided an opportunity to compare and synthesize the various approaches presented throughout the conference, mapping the role of values across the principal domains of legal scholarship and exploring their significance for the future development of law and legal thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
