Project Poland began in 1997 with the donation of
an Internet server to the Commercial Law Center in Warsaw. The Commercial
Law Center is a non-for-profit organization formed by the Warsaw
Bar Associations. The Center web site, www.prawo.org, offers free
access to information about the Polish legal system, statutes, and
judicial decisions.
The activities with the Commercial Law Center led
to cooperation with ABC Publishing House and Iustitia, the Polish
Association of Judges. With the help of the American Bar Association’s
Central and East European Law Initiative (ABA/CEELI), Project Poland,
Iustitia, and ABC Publishing opened a Computer Training Center in
Warsaw for judges and court staff. The ABA/CEELI liaisons in Warsaw,
Frank Kulbaski and Delaine Swenson, introduced Professor Richard
Warner, the Project’s Director, to Professor Grzegorz Górski of
Law Faculty of the Catholic University of Lublin. Professors Warner
and Górski organized the American Studies Program at the Catholic
University of Lublin.
