The published draft of the Polish Civil Code was submitted into the public discussion in 1960. The six-month discussion was a huge organizational undertaking in which a large group of citizens was successfully involved, not only legal specialists. Particular role in organizing the discussion played the Association of Polish Lawyers, whose branches devoted a lot of time and effort in organizing numerous debates, and in effect gathered an extremely rich discussion material. Although the public debate was partly a facade and did not always have a decisive impact on the content of the next draft, it made the future code a matter of all citizens. The proposed solutions of civil law were discussed not only among lawyer but also in daily press, on radio and television, at meetings of social organizations, and even in the factories on the meetings of the employees. This general scope of discussions is much better visible in the debate on family law, whose problems attracted the attention of the vast majority of discussants. The constructions of the inheritance law – sometimes very complicated – interested mainly jurists. The article summarizes the results of these public consultations regarding the prepositions of the inheritance law included in the draft of the Civil Code of 1960.
