��CHAPTER 1

Some Facts About the University
The Pázmány Péter Catholic University was founded by the Conference of
Hungarian Catholic Bishops with the approval of the Holy See on January 30,
1992 when a Faculty of Humanities was added to the already existing Faculty
of Theology founded at Nagyszombat in 1635 by Cardinal-Primate
PÁZMÁNY Péter, archbishop of Esztergom.
The Catholic University was recognised by the Hungarian Parliament in
1993. In 1995 the Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops established a
Faculty of Law and Political Sciences which similarly received state
recognition. The Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law was founded by the
Holy See in 1996 with the capacity of a faculty of canon law (ad instar
facultatis). In 1998 the Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops
established a Faculty of Information Technology. Its organisation and
accreditation are underway.
On March 25, 1999 the Congregation of Catholic Education declared the
University a Catholic university founded with the approval of the Holy See.
The chairman of the Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops is ex officio
the Grand Chancellor of the University who stands at the head of the
university’s government, representing the Holy See.

�CHAPTER2

Foundation of the Faculty
Ideas and Goals
The change of regimes in Hungary in 1989 gave rise to a growing need for
lawyers, as the introduction of the rule of law necessitated a greater number
of qualified specialists. The primary aim of the Faculty of Law and Political
Sciences created in 1995 is to train future members of all fields of the legal
profession with a Christian attitude.
It was also an important historical moment in which to break with the former
structure of education and return to the traditions of the constitutional states
of Europe. The Faculty intends to teach not only what is needed today but it
looks forward to the next half century as well.
In the first year of its existence, the Faculty found accommodation in the
dining hall and a few rooms of a nunnery refounded in Budapest. When the
Hungarian Catholic Episcopate recovered the former headquarters of Szent
István Társulat [St. Stephen Society] at 28-30 Szentkirályi Street, it
immediately concluded that the building complex was a worthy location for
the Faculty. At present, the Faculty disposes of most of 28-30 Szentkirályi
Street and the neighbouring building bought subsequently (26 Szentkirályi
Street).
The peculiarities of the curriculum as compared to that of other
faculties of law

- Rhetoric, stylistics, logic, and epistemology — subjects that were mostly
ignored in the education of the past era — have been reintroduced in a
considerable number of weekly hours to support the teaching of legal
history and the theory of law, among others.
- Compared to other faculties of law, economics is taught more intensively,
and international law as well as the law of economics and environmental
law receive a greater emphasis.
- Constitutional law, the law of the press and media law, information
sciences, and communication are similarly taught in more detail.
- Following from the Catholic character of the institution canon law is
taught in three terms.
- Mastering two foreign languages is compulsory.
- The weekly number of the hours of instruction is generally higher.
- There are significantly more examinations than in state universities.
3

�As an indication of its modem outlook, the Faculty publishes new textbooks
and intends to prepare students for a comprehensive knowledge and proper
application of law according to the requirements of the new millennium.
Peculiarities of admission

The Faculty favours a talent spotting type of admission. The prospective
students’ activities at the grammar school are emphatically taken into account
with special regard to extra achievements like successful participation at
inter-school competitions and language skills, which are rewarded by
additional points. Suitability for the legal profession is also tested and the
effectiveness of this test becomes manifest at later examinations. The great
number of admitted students balances against the results of the entrance
examination. This system of admission has stood the test of time. Among the
very first class of six hundred students, some twenty per cent dropped out.

Total number of students
In the academic year 2000/2001, nearly 4000 students were admitted
altogether for the regular, correspondence and distance teaching courses
(including the students of the Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law).

Structure of education
The period of study consists of ten terms for regular and correspondence
students. Students are free to attend the compulsory number of lectures and
pass the examinations during a period most convenient for them, which
means that they can finish their studies two terms earlier or two terms later as
well.
Postgraduate and other special training

There are several postgraduate courses at the Faculty, including European
law, banking law, the law of trade in real estate, environmental law, company
law, the law of economics, and the criminal law of economic offences, as
well as the law of diplomatic relations in English. There is also a
complementary course for a university degree intended to graduates of the
Police Academy and the Academy of Public Administration. The Faculty
plans to introduce further courses, e.g., in urban development and civics
education, the latter as a teachers’ course.
The PhD Programme

The postgraduate programme started in 2000/2001 with approximately 50
students.

The Faculty’s outlook is reflected in the “admission declaration” written by
ZLINSZKY János, the first dean of the Faculty between 1995 and 2000, and
signed by prospective students upon their admission:
“I the undersigned apply for admission to the Faculty ofLaw and
Political Sciences at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University as a
student in the regular/corresponding/distance teaching course. I
am aware that the Pázmány Péter Catholic University is a
Catholic institution working according to Christian values. I also
accept and observe these values.
I undertake to achieve the best possible results, decently and in an
orderly way, diligently, in solidarity with my fellow students and
my professors. I will co-operate with my fellow students and
professors in achieving a high level of education at the Faculty. I
consciously and willingly accept the difficulties resulting from the
attenuated educational resources available to the Faculty during
its process of organisation. ”

In the 1999/2000 academic year, the Faculty closed a period of revival and
expansion. In June, 2000 it sent out its first graduating class and in the year
of the Hungarian millennium it issued its first diplomas. The solemn oath of
lawyers follows:
5

�I (name) swear by God to observe the constitution, the laws, and
constitutional order of this country and respect basic human
rights, and will make use of my knowledge for the public good and
the well-being of my fellow countrymen.
1 will use my knowledge in the interest of the development of our
country in order that children and adults, the strong and the
weak, and, most of all, all abandoned persons and people in need
of defence will be able to feel secure. I intend to make, maintain,
and apply the law not for selfish ends but for the public good and
the natural interests of the people.
I consider the powers invested in me as a duty I have to account
for. I will decide the cases entrusted to me without bias, leaving
sympathies and antipathies behind, and without taking threats and
profit into consideration, to the best of my knowledge and in good
conscience according to the law.
1 will hold the Hungarian Catholic Church the university of which
I had the opportunity to attend and the Pázmány Péter Catholic
University in respect and will support it in the future, and at the
same time will do my best to remain worthy of being its doctor
juris. So help me God!

Starting with the first term of the students’ university career, the Institute
teaches compulsory subjects in the course of seven terms and prepares
students for theoretical cross-section finals. Regarding the research activities
of the Institute, the series of publications it edit in Hungarian and in foreign
languages, as well as the international and national conferences and
workshops it organises or initiates, the Institute can be regarded as one of the
country’s outstanding scholarly workshops in its field. Partly due to the
several research projects of the Institute, its library can boast of a carefully
expanded collection which is one of the richest of the Faculty’s libraries.

Co-ordinator: Professor VARGA Csaba.

Research activities:
The Institute intends to become a workshop of Catholic spiritual renewal
within its sphere. Keeping future perspectives in sight, it intends to
concentrate on early and contemporary periods of legal and political thinking,
on the revival and critical analysis of the traditions of natural law and its
present-day trends, and on the relevant aspects of legal anthropology.
The Institute is virtually the only Hungarian workshop teaching comparative
law in-depth in the classical sense of the term (with text-notes under
preparation) and seeks to lay the foundations of the historical and
comparative investigation of legal cultures and the judicial mind (professional
methodology).

DEPARTMENT OF ROMAN LAW

One of the major preconditions of Hungary's accession to the European
Union is legal harmonisation. Roman law can offer a safe starting point for
the accomplishment of this task. The legal traditions of all civilised nations
rest on Roman law, either consciously or unconsciously and the identity or
similarity of the legal institutions and their elements go back to these origins.
The Department of Roman Law considers teaching both ius privatum and ius
publicum equally important. Ius privatum provides for the recognition of a
new ius gentium and ius publicum exerts an equally strong effect during our
times as ius privatum, similar to the penal system of Rome in connection with
crimina and delicta.

DEPARTMENT OF UNIVERSAL LEGAL HISTORY
It is a requirement of Hungarian higher education in law that both Hungarian
and universal legal history be taught as basic subjects. Legal history lays the
foundations of the legal culture by introducing social, political, and legal
views and institutions into the process of professional education.

DEPARTMENT OF HUNGARIAN LEGAL HISTORY

The roots of the systematic research of Hungarian legal history go back to the
early Modern Age. An important sign of this was the appearance of native
law (jus patrium}, Catholic canon law, and imperial Roman law in the higher
education of law. The enlightened monarch Maria Theresa hoped that the
execution of her Ratio Educationis (1777) would encourage changes
necessary for the acquisition of a reliable knowledge of legal history at the
Hungarian university. In the past two centuries there were outstanding legal
historians (WENZEL Gusztáv, HAJNIK Imre, KIRÁLY János, HOLUB
József, ECKHART Ferenc, BÓNIS György, and CSIZMADIA Andor, among
others) who created departments of legal history that gave rise to various
schools. Following this model, our Faculty of Law combined the forces in an
integrated structural unit including the two departments of legal history and
the one of Roman law.

The Institute of Canon Law has been part of the Faculty of Law and Political
Sciences at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University ever since its foundation.
The Institute closely co-operates with the Department of Canon Law at the
Theological Faculty and at the same time also with the Postgraduate Institute
of Canon Law ad instar facultatis.
The Institute deals with fundamental theological problems, the structure and
function of the Catholic Church, as well as its inner legal order. The courses
are taught in four terms. Along with the compulsory courses of canon law, the
students can also attend courses of the Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law as
special courses and may take the appropriate examinations. After receiving
their university diplomas they can join the PhD programme of the
Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law where the courses attended earlier and
completed successfully will be taken into account.

Oh Lord, you have searched through me, and you know me.
You yourself have come to know my sitting down and my rising up.
You have considered my thought from far off.
My journeying outstretched and my lying you have measured off,
And you have become familiar even with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But look! O Lord, you already know it all.
Behind and before, you have besieged me;
And you place your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
It is so high up that I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from your spirit,
and where can I run away from your face?
IfI should ascend to heaven, there you would be;
And ifI should spread out my couch in She ’ol,
Look! you would be there.
(Psalm 139, 1-8)

development of codification in Hungary, and, first of all, effective criminal
law. Besides analysing the regulations of statue law the curriculum also
covers the special literature on the subject, the decisions of the Constitutional
Court, and the decisions of the Supreme Court on principles. The demands of
legal policy shaping the criminal law of the future are also discussed.
The practical aspect of instruction is represented by the discussion of legal

�DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY
Criminology is a relatively new discipline. Its history in Hungarian higher
education can be traced from the publication of IRK Albert’s Kriminológiai
tanulmányok I. Kriminálaetológia [Criminology Studies. Part I. Criminal
Aetiology] (Pozsony [Bratislava], 1912). From the late 1940s to 1965 the
subject was considered undesirable and was not instructed due to its elements
of social criticism. Beside IRK Albert, its outstanding representatives prior to
the Second World War were the following: VÁMBÉRY Rusztem, HACKER
Ervin, BALOGH Jenő, and SCHÁFER István. The Department of
Criminology was set up at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University in 1997.

DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT

The Department began teaching the law of criminal procedure in the course
of the reform process in this field, which necessitated the introduction of
special methods. Besides the fundamental knowledge of statute law it offers
the history of the relevant institutions, a comparative approach, and the
analysis of future perspectives.
The preparations for the new act on law enforcement as well as the
prospective changes in penalties and relevant measures also influence the
instruction of the law of law enforcement. The law of criminal procedure is
taught in two terms, whereas the law of law enforcement is taught in one term.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW
The aim of teaching public international law is to familiarise the students, who
in the future will apply the law, with the fundamental institutions of international
law. Not only future diplomats are trained here, but so are future civil servants,
judges, prosecutors, attorneys, and legal advisers, who will be expected to
interpret international treaties and establish the origins and the source of general
or particular international legal obligations binding the Hungarian state. This is
why special attention is devoted to questions of treaty-making, the interpretation
of international treaties, and reservations to treaties.

DEPARTMENT OF PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND
THE LAW OF INTERNATIONAL PROCEDURE
The subjects taught at the Department (private international law; the law of
international economic relations, the law of international procedure) have
never been included in the curriculum of a department of law in this context
so far. Traditional private international law is taught in the autumn semester,
whereas the law of international economic relations is taught in the spring
semester for fourth-year students. The curriculum of the autumn semester in
the fifth year includes arbitration court jurisdiction in the framework of the
30

�law of international procedure and the rules of procedures before various
international forums. In contrast to the curriculum of the Eötvös Loránd
University, private international law is treated here as a separate branch of
law and the law of international economic relations as a complex area of
jurisdiction. The introduction of the law of international procedures as an
independent subject serves to acquaint the students with the activities of the
international arbitration courts and other international agencies.

�Institute of Private Law
Address: H-1088, Budapest, Szentkirályi u, 28. Room 304, 3™ floor.
Telephone: +361-429-7272, fax: +361-429-7274, e-mail: szikszi@jak.ppke.hu

The Institute instructs primarily classical private law supplemented by the
changes taking place in the Modern Age. Special emphasis is laid both in
education and in research on topics of Roman law and those of Hungary’s
accession to the European Union.
The subjects taught at the Institute cover a wider scope than the usual
curriculum of universities in the past decades:
- The protection of basic rights, press and media law, as well as bioethics
are taught as independent disciplines. Due to its significance in modern
life, commercial law is taught separately in two semesters. Family law is,
however, taught in the framework of civil law, similarly to the law of
medicine.
- In the second year alternative courses and in the third year a compulsory
seminar contribute to the better acquisition of civil law.

The subjects pertaining to civil law are^aught in the following order: 1 term
— general parj, the law of persons; 2 term — the law of things, ^he law of
succession; 3 term — the law^of obligations — general part; 4in term —
contracts, the law of medicine; 5 term — family law, copyright law.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL LAW AND THE PROTECTION OF
BASIC RIGHTS

The spread of constitutional court jurisdiction all over the world has changed
the structure and operation of the states. In Hungary the Constitutional Court
was among the first to introduce and apply the means to measure
constitutionality and elaborate the principles of primary rights. This fact
accounts for the joint treatment of constitutional court jurisdiction and the
protection of basic rights. Besides the activities of the Hungarian
Constitutional Court the Department also keeps track of the results of the
most important constitutional courts abroad.

�DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCIAL LAW
Teaching commercial law, dealing with legal relations in commercial life, is
based on the legal material and outlook acquired by the students in
connection with the basic institutions of civil law. Having organic links with
the law of obligations dealt with in the framework of civil law and, in fact, as
a continuation thereof, commercial law as a subject includes the instruction of
classical commercial contracts, as well as the laws on companies (including
the law of bankruptcy and liquidation) pushed temporarily to the background
by the special Eastern European development of law, the law of securities,
and the law of consumer protection. The international trends in this field
(more precisely those of the European Union) are also dealt with in the
curriculum.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR AND SOCIAL SECURITY LAW

Formerly, issues of employment or labour relations used to belong to the
sphere of private law and were instructed accordingly. Outstanding works on
labour law were written in those days as well, especially by SÖVÉNYHÁZYNEUHOLD Ferenc and VINCENTI Gusztáv, the significance of which was
the greater since a considerable portion of labour rules was at that time based
on customary law, similarly to private law. The coming into force of the
Labour Code of 1951 made the teaching of an independent labour law at
universities possible for the first time. The structural and educational
framework of the subject at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University today
corresponds to this model. The Department of Labour and Social Security
Law deals also with scholarly research and contributes both to the creation of
a new Labour Code and to finding the best ways of its execution.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND COMPETITION LAW
The issues of environmental protection have been present in the curriculum of
the University ever since the setting up of the Faculty of Law and Political
Sciences. The instruction of the relevant subjects at other universities usually
takes place in the form of alternative courses at best, whereas this Faculty was
the first to introduce the compulsory study of environmental protection to
satisfy international demands, primarily those of the European Union. The
instruction of environmental protection consists of two parts, namely, the
40

�course of “environment and development” on the one hand representing the
basis on which new attitudes are being formed, and “environmental law” on
the other. Accordingly, the Department was launched in 1996 as a
Department of Ecology and in 1998, it was restructured as a Department of
Environmental Law. Due to the demand for structural changes at the Faculty,
competition law is also temporarily taught here from 1999 on, so the
department is at present called Department of Environmental and
Competition Law.

Instruction in foreign language
Master ofScience in Environmental Management
Fall 2001 will be a special date for the University of San Francisco (USF) and
the Pázmány Péter Catholic University. The two universities will jointly offer,
in Budapest, a graduate degree programme leading to a Master of Science in
Environmental Management degree. The language of instruction will be
English and the degree will be awarded by the USF.
The programme is built on the strengths of both universities: environmental
law and public policy on the part of the PPKE and environmental science and
engineering, as well as risk assessment on the part of the USF. Details of the
Budapest programme have, in large part, been derived from the USF’s twenty
plus years of experience in educating and training professionals in
environmental management, health, and safety, and the PPKÉ’s knowledge of
the needs in Hungary.
The programme is designed not only for practising environmental specialists
but also for other interested professionals who wish to enhance, broaden, and
update their skills and knowledge so that they can meet the demands of
industry and government, as well as of society in general.

Fields ofresearch:
Environmental ethics; human ecology; harmonisation of Hungarian
environmental law with that of the European Union; consumer protection and
environmental protection; social organisations for environmental protection.

Communication issues have been present in the curriculum of the Faculty
ever since its foundation but the department specialising in this field was
formally set up as late as 1999. The subjects taught at the Department
contribute to the cultural background of the legal profession. In the first year
written communication skills are developed in the framework of stylistics,
oral skills through rhetoric, and argumentation through logic. In the second
year communication is the focus. Finally, in the third year social
communication and the communicative nature of society are dealt with.

The traditions of the Department go back to the work of SCHÜTZ Antal and
the legacy of MOÓR Gyula. Its present-day activities aim at combining the
methods of modern symbolic logic and the analytical theory of knowledge
with the achievements of continental philosophy applicable in teaching law.
The curriculum offers classical subjects enabling the students to master
argumentation, the theory and techniques of speech, and the indispensable
skills of acting in writing, to prepare legal documents under the novel
conditions of an information society. Besides such traditional subjects as
logic, rhetoric and epistemology the character of the Faculty makes it possible
also to cover Christian and analytical ethics and philosophy of language, as
well as alternative cultural subjects in the social context of persuasion that
foster scholarship in drawing up legal documents, pleadings, arguments, and
juridical proofs. Faculty members provide graduate training in logical aspects
of computer science and PhD courses in information and decision sciences.
The methodology and information technology of distance and distributed
education, including learning theory, also forms part of the Department’s
fields of research.

In autumn 1997 the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences of the Pázmány
Péter Catholic University launched an electronic distance learning course the
general requirements of which are basically identical with those of the
traditional courses. The differences follow from the special method of
learning.

The basic difference is that the students are not supposed to attend lectures
and take part at tutorials. All they have to do is to use their computers for
keeping contact with the university. The Faculty found technical solutions to
make all information, including the text of the lectures, the required reading
list, the exam requirements, and the control tests during the year available for
the students in an electronic form.
Besides lecturers, undergraduate assistants skilled in information technology
are involved in this work. Their task is to be in communication with the
students and to electronically prepare the materials made by the lecturers of
the departments. At the beginning of each academic year the Faculty offers
distance learners information on electronic media and in the form of written
materials specifying the PC requirements and the necessary software, and
teaches how to use them.
The Faculty plans to develop this modern method of teaching into an
accredited course of distance learning. The necessary methodological and
organisational development, as well as the adaptation of the subject-matter of
instruction is in process and the hardware facilities are being constantly
developed.
The Institute of Information Sciences and Distance Teaching was set up in
March, 2000. Along with operating the inner information network of the
Faculty its task is to maintain a computer laboratory and to offer basic courses
for users, as well as to develop the home page of the Faculty and the
possibilities of access to the Internet.

Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law
Address: H-1088 Budapest, Szentkirályi u. 28. Room 219, 2nd floor.

Telephone: +361-429-7217, fax: +361-429-7218, e-mail: folia@jak.ppke.hu

The Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops proposed the establishment
of the Institute of Canon Law at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University in
June, 1996. In the same year the Congregation of Catholic Education
announced the approval of the Holy See, giving the status of a faculty of
canon law ad instar facultatis (decision no. 975/96 from November 30,
1996). The Institute closely co-operates both with the Department of Canon
Law at the Faculty of Theology and the Institute of Canon Law at the Faculty
of Law and Political Sciences.
The Institute is able to grant baccalaureate, licentiate, and doctor’s degrees in
canon law. The baccalaureate of canon law is recognised by the Hungarian
state as a university diploma and the doctorate as a PhD. The official
languages of instruction are Hungarian, Italian, and German.

Conditions for admission:
- Baccalaureate: a diploma in theology or a certificate as a teacher of
religion is needed (at least a college degree);
- Licentiate: a baccalaureate of theology or canon law, or a university
degree as a teacher of religion, or legal qualification is needed;
- Doctorate: a licentiate of canon law is needed.

The courses of the Institute can be attended as special courses by students of
the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences and the Faculty of Theology. These
students can apply for admission at the Institute after graduation. Courses
attended previously and completed with a successful examination can be
taken into account. The comprehensive examination for the licentiate can be
taken at the earliest two years after graduation. Defence of the dissertation for
a doctorate is possible at least one year after acquiring the licentiate.
The library of the Institute consists approximately of 3,000 books, 3,000
offprints, and 200 microfiches. The work of the members as lecturers and as
researchers is aided also by forty specialist periodicals and thousands of
specialist books on canon law in the library of the Faculty of Theology.

Leading Lecturers1
BÁGER Gusztáv
associate professor
Heller Farkas Institute of Economics
Bom in 1938.
Academic degree: candidate of sciences
(economics), dr. habil.2
Foreign language: English (advanced).
International contacts: representation of
Hungary in the management of the
Administrative Council of the World Bank
and in the Council of Europe, appointed by
the Minister of Finance.
Fields of research: international finances; Hungarian economic policy;
globalisation with special regard to the role of international financial
institutions; European integration.
Some publications in foreign languages:
- The Plural Rationality and Interest of National Planners: Experiences in
Hungary. In: Plural Rationality and Interactive Decision Processes (Berlin,
Heidelberg, New-York, Tokyo: Springer Verlag, 1985), pp. 37-54.
- Privatisation in Hungary: Constraints and Impacts. In: Aula No. 4. 1992.
pp. 94-102.
- Convergencies of Major Policy Indicators as Means toward a Greater
Global Monetary and Economic Integration. In: The Global Monetary
System After the Fall of the Soviet Empire (Brookfield USA, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Sydney, Aidershot: Avebury Publishing Ltd., 1996), pp. 3-10.
Academic degrees in Hungary used to be different from those in Western Europe
and America, the first degree being granted by universities (dr. univ., predecessor of
the PhD) and the others by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The second in rank
was the candidate’s degree (CSc), and the third, termed senior academic degree
(DSc), is the highest in rank today. The first two traditional degrees are now
disappearing and come to be replaced by PhD which is the equivalent of the former
candidate’s degree. Both the first and the third levels are so-called doctor’s degrees,
not differentiated in writing (e.g. dr. NAGY László). Students of law are also entitled
to the title doctor (dr.) upon completing their studies, similarly to physicians. This
complexity of the Hungarian usage has led us to the conclusion that we should omit
these prefixes in the present publication.
Habilitation is the process of getting the certification (habil.) required for a full
professorship.
