The aim of this paper is to present the contribution of the Wrocław scientific
community to the development of the science of environmental law, with particular refer
ence to the academic chair led by Jan Bocia of the University of Wrocław, the Department
of Environmental Law of the Institute of Legal Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences
under the direction of Jerzy Sommer, and the Centre for Environmental Law under the
direction of Jerzy Jendrośka. The scientific achievements of the Wroclaw lawyers are based
on the development of Polish environmental law from its beginnings in 1971, through the
1976 amendment to the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Poland, the 1980 Act on
the protection and shaping of the environment, the 1991 Act on the protection of nature,
into the 2001 Act – Environmental Protection Law. The presentation takes into account the
laws of other European countries, emphasising the international cooperation of the Wroclaw
lawyers. The essay also pays tribute to four late representatives of the Wroclaw scientific
community: Jerzy Sommer, Jan Boć, Konrad Nowacki and Jan Jerzmański.
