Dr. Ivo Pilar — A Lawyer in Tuzla (1905-1920)
Tomislav JONJIĆ
Sažetak
The author analyses the law practice of Dr. Ivo Pilar in Tuzla (1905-1920)
and bases his analysis upon accessible archive material, contemporary
journalism and published materials. The archive material reveals that —
according to the number of documents as well as the number, i. e. the
structure of Pilar's collaborators — Pilar's law office was the most
developed in Tuzla after only several years. In Tuzla Pilar practised law
until 1920, but certain documents show that even in the first half of 1921
his office was not entirely closed. During those fifteen years, Pilar
predominantly dealt with civil and commercial law, representing numerous
physical and legal persons from both Tuzla and its surrounding area as well
as from other parts of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. While doing so, he
also earned considerable income. Owing to that income and numeous
collaborators, Pilar could devote significant time to his intellectual work,
and, in part, to the direct participation in the political struggle. Since the
middle of World War I a standstill — even a decrease in the intensity of his
law practice — could be noticed. This could be partly ascribed to the war,
while, in part, it must have been due to his intensive work on treatises and
books that represent the central part of his oeuvre. For Pilar, the demise of
the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the establishment of the Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes meant the breakdown of his political plans and
visions. He was severely stricken by those events also in terms of his
profession. Having become most disliked by the regime, Pilar lost the best
part of his property and feared for his own life. Thus, during 1920 he made
preparations for moving his office to Zagreb.
