German civil law political theory is not in high demand these days. However political theory
is important for establishing an overall picture of German civil law and portraying an image of
German civil law to Europe and beyond. This is especially true in times when ideas are widely
circulated and the circulation itself can be useful for influencing transnational legal
realities. The collected essays on German civil law instructors presented in this work aim to
contribute to just such a political theory. This two volume edition is based on the lecture
series 20th Century German Civil Law Instructors Described by their Students that was held at
the Humboldt-Universität Berlin the Europa-Universität Viadrina at Frankfurt (Oder) and the
Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
