Inyurkollegiya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inyurkollegiya or Injurkollegija (Russian: Инюрколлегия, Иностранная юридическая коллегия, Foreign Legal Collegium) was a Soviet Union's legal aid organisation specialized in international law, [1] established in 1937
The organization provided legal aid for Soviet citizens and organisations in foreign civil cases. The Soviet side abroad was represented via hired foreign lawyers who had right to represent foreigners in their states.
It also represented foreign citizens and organizations in civil cases in the Soviet Union.
In addition to legal aid, inyurkollegiya provided assistance in obtaining various kinds of information, search of documents and consulting in Soviet and foreign laws.

In the aftermath of the fall of Soviet Union, the organisation was reorganised into Iniurcolleguia, a law firm.[2]
