Sažetak
This paper will first introduce the concept of legal tradition and outline the most widespread, well-known, and widely accepted legal traditions (continental, common law, socialist, and Sharia law). It will then examine the history of law and legal systems on the territory of Croatia in order to determine and explain Croatia's connection to the continental legal tradition. For this purpose, the General Civil Code, which was first enacted in Austria in 1811 and which represents one of the first European civil codifications and thus marks the beginning of the continental legal tradition in this region, will be given particular attention. By reviewing Croatian legal history from medieval law, through the era of the General Civil Code, the period of socialist governance, and up to the present day, the paper will establish Croatia's affiliation with, and the inclusion of its legal system in, the continental legal tradition.
