The patrimonial jurisdiction that existed in this form in the middle of the 19th century and has been in force since 1784 was abolished in the Austrian Empire after the revolutionary years of 1848/49 . Up to this point in time there had been 1,090 different courts of first instance in Bohemia. In addition to the 868 Dominical courts, there were 142 courts in the municipal cities, 56 courts in royal cities, 19 criminal courts, four mountain courts and one court of the k. k. Bohemian Land Law. It was replaced by the district, regional and higher regional courts, which were planned according to the principles of the Minister of Justice and whose creation was approved by Emperor Franz Joseph I on July 6, 1849 . According to the Minister of Justice, the court division by the Ministry of Justice was based on four main criteria. First of all, the previously existing dominions should not be broken up and the tax communities should be kept within their limits. In addition, when assigning the courts, consideration was given to territorial conditions such as population density, transport connections, economic structure and the previous court system. The language barriers played a further role in the division of courts. The ministry only envisaged cities that had already been the seat of magistrates as the seat of the district courts.

From 1850, in all areas of the monarchy except Hungary, the old large districts were replaced by political districts (the executive), each of which consisted of one or more judicial districts (the judiciary). This classification still exists in the Austrian federal states . Usually a political district (Czech: politický okres ) was smaller than a former old district, and a judicial district (Czech: soudní okres ) is smaller than a political district. Moravia had 32 political districts.

The following division of districts continued to apply in the First Czechoslovak Republic , apart from minor changes and the creation of three new districts (Bärn, Mährisch Ostrau and Wesetin) :
