Popis: Even though the Spanish Constitution of 1978 established the jurisdictional unity and reserved the authority over the Administration of Justice to the State institutions, the self-governing communities play an important role in this area. The paper will summarize how the functions related to Administration of Justice are currently distributed between the State and the Autonomous Communities. Additionally, the possibilities to extend the powers of the territories in this arena will be reviewed, respecting the limits set by the Spanish Constitution of 1978.
