ÖSSZEFOGLALÓK

és Bogár (Cricket and Beetle), Holdfény és Napfény (Moonlight and Sunshine), Sellő és Pálma (Mermaid and Palm) or Orchidea és Gyöngyház (Orchid and Nacre) are not a bit better than those carrying political messages, for they are foreign to the city's mentality. So the street naming isn't easy even now. Yet the development of a name system that reflects the city's aspect and is suitable for our age is realizable by increasing the social control and strengthening the role of media. In this city the main principle would be the traditionalism, the common sense and aestheticism. Kecskemét set off on this way and this way is really workable. LÁSZLÓ BODÓCZKY THE SYSTEM OF HUNGARIAN COURT OF APPEAL This study is about the development of Hungarian judicial organization. The process was essentially formed and influenced by the development of economy, the social stratification based on the former one, the political struggles of these Stratums and by the number of cases.

The Royal Courts of Appeal were decentralized in 1890 and their number was fixed in seven. In 1950, as a consequence of the changed political situation, the superior courts and the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office were wound up, by which the Court of Appeal's work was ceased for more than 50 years. After the democratic transformation the constitution modified the organization of courts in 1997 and established the Court of Appeal as a new instance between the Supreme Court and the county courts. By this the regionalism appeared in the system of jurisdiction, which suits the tradition of Hungarian judicial establishment and it is also in harmony with the European practice. LÁSZLÓ NÁNÁSI BRIEF HISTORY OF THE HUNGARIAN PROSECUTION FROM THE OUTSET TO 1953 In 1871-72 the modern Hungarian Prosecution was established on basis of medieval precedents, but by using the sample of French public prosecutor's office. The organization had only two instances for 3 decades in contrast with the four-
