Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a study on knowledge management processes between Slovenian principals in the field of legal matters. Many critiques, that have recently been expressed in the field of education summarize, that principals are overwhelmed with administrative tasks, which among other includes arranging legal matters. A lack of knowledge in the field of dealing with legal matters causes that they spent most of their working time arranging administrative tasks. A systematic introduction of knowledge management processes in this area may represent one of the solutions. On the basis of data, that was collected through quantitative study, we have investigated what kind of a burden the arranging of legal matters represents to Slovenian principals and how they acquire knowledge necessary for dealing with legal matters and the extent to which it affects their work. On the basis of the results we can say, that arranging of legal matters is perceived as a very difficult task for Slovenian principals. The research shows that certain activities of knowledge management in this area are already in place, but the effects are not significant. In order to increase their impact, it is necessary to provide a more systematic approach to these processes and consider them as a whole.
