Slavomir Condanari-Michler (born March 22, 1902 in Trieste , † December 27, 1974 in Vienna ) was an Austrian legal scholar .

He attended the state elementary school and the state high school in Trieste. After the end of the First World War , his family was expelled to Austria and moved to Graz, where Slavomir passed the Matura at the 2nd Federal High School in 1920 . From 1921 to 1924 Condanari-Michler worked as a bank clerk in Vienna.

From 1931 to 1933 he worked for the Austrian National Bank.

Condanari-Michler was only able to achieve his real goal, an academic career, after a few difficulties. Since 1931 he was a member of the NSDAP , which was banned in Austria in 1933. In 1934 he received a habilitation grant from the German Research Foundation , which was withdrawn from him in 1936 because of "political unreliability". Nevertheless, in 1937 he achieved his habilitation in ancient legal history and the history of common Roman law at the University of Vienna under Ernst Schönbauer . In 1939 he was employed as an assistant and lecturer in ancient legal history at the University of Vienna. From January 8, 1940, he represented the Chair of Roman Law ( Arnold Herdlitczka ) at the University of Innsbruck . On June 2, 1942 he was appointed associate professor there.

During the Second World War , Condanari-Michler served as a medic in 1943. After the end of the war, he initially lost his professorship, but on December 14, 1945 he was appointed full professor. On October 18, 1948 he received an extraordinary professorship for commercial law and bill of exchange law ; on January 30, 1952 he was appointed full professor. In 1964 he left Innsbruck and accepted a professorship at the University of World Trade in Vienna, where he worked until his death.
