Biographical History
The District Court in Jičín was established due to a new organization of the judiciary in 1850. It ruled in civil and legal proceedings, the land register agenda was transferred to it, and in criminal matters it was limited to less serious acts. In the years 1855-1868, the political administration was merged with the judiciary into a so-called mixed district office. In 1868, the Jičín District Court became independent again and functioned even after 1948 when it was renamed the People's Court in Jičín.
Archival History
The documents were continuously stored in the registry of the District Court in Jičín, which moved three times during its existence in Jičín. In 1941, the oldest files were transferred to the Archives of the Ministry of the Interior in Prague, from where they were transferred to the State Archives in Kuks in 1950. In the years 1972-1973, all material was transferred to the Jičín District Archives, where the oldest part was processed in 1975. Regular appraisals have been taking place since the 1990s, and the archives regularly take over court files on the basis of a file and appraisal plan.
