From May 16, 1990, to May 14, 1992, he was the Minister of Justice for Slovenia as a member of the Slovenian Democratic Union. In that role, he introduced a denationalisation act to undo some of the damage caused by unjust post-war expropriations.[1] When his party split, he led the new center-right National Democratic Party, but it fared very poorly in the 1992 Slovenian presidential and parliamentary elections.[2]

He is a law professor at the University of Ljubljana[3] and a former dean of its faculty of law.[4] On March 23, 2005, he was appointed to the Joint Supervisory Board of Eurojust as Slovenia's representative and served as its chair from January to June 2008;[5] he was still a member as of 2013.[6]
