Tomaž Marušič

Tomaž Marušič (born 1932) is a Slovenian lawyer and politician.

He was born in Solkan, then a suburb of the Italian town of Gorizia (now part of the town of Nova Gorica in Slovenia). His father, Franc Marušič was a renowned local physician and a staunch Slovene patriot and antifascist.

Marušič graduated at the University of Ljubljana and worked as a lawyer in Nova Gorica and Koper. During the Slovenian Spring (1988 - 1992), he joined the newly formed Slovene People's Party. In 1993, he was elected by the City Council of Nova Gorica as the first non-Communist mayor of the town, but lost the elections the following year against Črtomir Špacapan of the Liberal Democracy of Slovenia. From 1997 until 2000, Marušič served as Minister for Justice in the coalition government led by Janez Drnovšek. In June 2000, the new prime minister Andrej Bajuk replaced him with Barbara Brezigar. After the general elections of September 2000, in which his party suffered a clear defeat, Marušič retrieved to private life in his home village of Solkan.

He is the brother of the renowned historian Branko Marušič.
