He taught for several universities in Zagreb, Győr and Pest. He was the chairman of the first Jurist Assembly in 1870. After 1872 he served as Minister of Justice until 1875. Kálmán Tisza appointed him Minister of Justice again in 1878. Pauler held this position until his death. He was also representative in the Diet of Hungary between 1871 and 1886. He became a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1858.
