They played an important role in the judicial system and in fact became the courts of the lowest instance. They settled disputes in the field of labour and civil law and adjudicated in cases of violations of criminal law. In retrospect, they can be assessed as a special type of court typical of the socialist system, the decisions of which were primarily of educational and preventive importance.}, title={Sądy społeczne w systemie wymiaru sprawiedliwości Niemieckiej Republiki Demokratycznej}, type={text}, keywords={social courts, socialist judiciary, lay judges, dispute resolution}, }
