At present, one professor, two associate professors and four assistant professors work at the department both pedagogically and scientifically. PhD candidates are also involved in teaching. The staff of the Department closely cooperates with all other departments of the Faculty. In pedagogical activities, it is especially with the Institute of Clinical Legal Education and the Department of Roman Law and Ecclesiastical Law. The joint study programme Theory and History of State and Law is provided by the Department together with the Department of Theory of Law and Philosophy of Law.
