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-Universitäauml;t Berlin, the Europa-Universität Viadrina at Frankfurt (Oder), and the Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
