In August 2022, academician Professor Jože Mencinger, PhD, one of the pillars
of the Ljubljana Faculty of Law for the past 50 years,
especially after the inde-
pendence of Slovenia, died. He was an important thinker – a contemporary of Slovenian social life, a scientific
researcher and a respected and renowned teacher of many generations of iurists.
Jože Mencinger was a democrat with a
developed social sense, with unchanged high moral and ethical principles
throughout his life. By supporting the handicapped, with a strong social sense in all areas of his activity, he
personified the principle of justice. He was very kind to students, well-known
for helping the homeless of Ljubljana, he stood up for the "erased”
and for refugees, and in the world he supported less deve-
loped countries in their efforts to escape poverty.
