When John Wigmore wrote his first List of Legal Novels, he started a phenomenon, which occurs through the whole 20th century and was revisited many times. It is almost a tradition to create a new list for each sub-area of Law and Literature. However, most of them are related to common law system and literature of areas as Central Europe are not usually included. This paper aims to introduce a list of literature influential for forming of Czechoslovakia and its legal culture in a wider sense of the term. List of fifty Literary fictions relevant for law and lawyers is introduced and rules of its forming are explained. Authors of selected fictions are introduced, and translations of selected works are listed too in order to make these texts available for foreign audience. In conclusion, three main topics of these fictions are determined, and they will serve as a system for further analysis of selected works. This paper is a first step in a long-term project focusing on Law and Literature in Czechoslovakia.
