The subject of the study is the presentation of the occurrence of the social factor in the administration of justice in the law of the Second Republic after the unification of the judiciary and after World War II. The forms of this participation and knotty issues related to it are discussed. The issues are presented in three levels. The first normative – takes a closer look at the legal solutions related to the participation of the civic factor in the administration of justice. The second dogmatic – brings closer, to the necessary extent, the views of science and projects. The third practical – brings closer the functioning (or lack of) normative solutions. The indicated dimensions interpenetrate each other, and therefore their strict separation is not possible.
