Abstract

DOMINIK LASOK, POLISH-BRITISH LAWYER AND PHILOSOPHER: LIFE, WORKS AND IDEAS
This article presents the life and ideas of Dominik Lasok, a Polish-British lawyer and philosopher. Born in Silesia to a Polish family, he took part in the Second World War. After studying law in Switzerland, he made his home in the UK and became widely known as an authority in European law. He was known for his remarkable enthusiasm for teaching and his unwavering belief in the value of international legal cooperation. His output as an author was exceptionally rich. He wrote more than a dozen books and at least 160 scholarly articles on a variety of subjects - most notably on European law and family law. Dominik Lasok also had invaluable achievements in promoting Polish law abroad. The article emphasizes his accomplishments, such as founding England’s first European Law Centre. Furthermore, his views on the EU as a distinct entity and his emphasis on the ethical dimension of law, especially Christian ethics, are highlighted.
