Horace Krasnopolski

Horaz Krasnopolski (born November 5, 1842 in Pištín , Bohemia ; † August 29, 1908 in Gmunden , Upper Austria ) was a Jewish legal scholar in Prague .

Life

Krasnopolski was born to poor Jewish parents in the Bohemian town of Pištín (Pístino). He attended the Imperial and Royal High School in Chernivtsi and from 1861 studied law at the Charles University in Prague . In Prague he became a member of the Corps Austria (1862) and the Corps Rugia in 1862. In 1868 he received his doctorate in Prague. After further study visits to the Georg-August University of Göttingen and the University of Leipzig , he became a lawyer in Prague in 1872. In 1872 he completed his habilitation in commercial law (Austria) and Austrian civil law . In 1876 he became the successor of the late Josef Krainz a.o. Professor and in 1881 full professor of Austrian civil law. At the Karl Ferdinand University he worked as a university lecturer until the end of his life.

His numerous writings cover all areas of civil law. Most of them are scattered in professional journals, some reflect lectures given in various legal societies. His life's work, a systematic overview of Austrian private law , which he left almost completely behind, was published by his student Bruno Alexander Kafka after 1910. Emerging from the historical school, Krasnopolski, a master of grammatical interpretation, as an excellent expert on Roman and German law as well as domestic particular law, sought to consider the institutions of Austrian private law in their historical development. He was the academic teacher of Franz Kafka and chairman of the examination committee when Kafka passed his state examination in law.
