Rajko Pirnat (born March 24, 1951, in Ljubljana) is a Slovenian politician, lawyer and academic.
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 denationalization act to undo some of the damage caused by unjust post-war expropriations from 1945 to 1963.[1][2] 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.[3]
He is a law professor at the University of Ljubljana[4] and a former dean of its faculty of law.[5] 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;[6] he was still a member as of 2013.[7]
