The role of law and legal experts, as well as the structures of their activities gradually changed since the late 1950s. The chapter describes the main areas that can be considered as specific or particularly important for contemporary legal reformism, like theoretical and practical issues of structure of law, the legal reform introducing the councils of workers as well as the reforms aiming the democratization of the system in a way that preserves socialism and protects it not by police mechanisms but by constitution, law and courts. Although law plays a little visible role in today's images of the Prague Spring, in reality the role of legal reformists of the 1960s seems to be important.
