A Review of the History of Ukrainian Law: Munich, Notes on Lectures at the Secret Ukrainian University in Lviv in 1920-1923, P.1, 3rd edition, 1947, 88 p.

In Mykola Chubatyi's work A Survey of the History of Ukrainian Law, the historical development of the Ukrainian legal system from ancient times to the early twentieth century is examined. The author analyzes the evolution of law on Ukrainian lands across various historical epochs: the era of Kyivan Rus, the Lithuanian-Polish period, the times of the Cossack Hetmanate, and the period of incorporation into the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires. The author outlines the principal sources of law — customary law, normative acts, and judicial practice — along with the particularities of their formation and transformation under the influence of political and social change. Particular attention is devoted to the Lithuanian Statutes, the legal traditions of the Hetmanate, and the processes of integrating Ukrainian lands into imperial legal systems. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the continuity and distinctiveness of the Ukrainian legal tradition, which continued to develop even under conditions of lost statehood.
