description This article is a synthetic summary of the previous research on individual cases of postwar criminal conviction for activities, in the occupied Polish areas, of lawyers of the Third Reich (judges and prosecutors). The main axis of the considerations is formed by instances of prosecution before Polish courts, however, analysis is carried out against the background of three normative models specified in literature, based on: the Nuremberg judgment, West German doctrine and Radbruch formula, and East German judicial practice. In this context, the author attempts to answer the question if, on the basis of Polish legislation and Polish judicial practice, a fourth – Polish – model can be distinguished.
