The Pskov Judicial Charter (Russian: Псковская судная грамота), also known as the Charter of Pskov,[1] was the legal code of the Pskov Republic. It was issued in various redactions between 1397 and 1467.[2]
It, along with the Novgorod Judicial Charter, was an important source for the Sudebnik of 1497 under Ivan III, the first collection of laws of the unified state.[3][4] It is considered to be a monument of Russian law.[5][6]
