Abstract

Civil law science in civil law itself is cited as a secondary, "indirect", almost less important source of civil law. Some recent tendencies, however, say the opposite - that the science of civil law is the primary source of civil law because the judge makes judgments according to the knowledge of law acquired during his studies and in later professional career. That is why talking about the civil law science as a source of this
science is also a conversation about the education of lawyers at law faculties and the extension of this process after graduation. In the Republic of Croatia at this time we see significant problems in both directions and even a lag that would be desirable to overcome as soon as possible.
