Juristische Zeitgeschichte / Abteilung 4

Leben und Werk

Edited by: Thomas Vormbaum

Overview
Volumes

Lebensbeschreibungen von Juristen, vor allem von Strafjuristen, hatten lange Zeit Seltenheitswert. Inzwischen ist die Zurückhaltung gegenüber Juristenbiographien aber einer intensiven biographischen Aktivität gewichen. Immerhin haben „die Juristen" in der Geschichte des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts vielfach an gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen mittelbar oder unmittelbar mitgewirkt, sie getragen oder umgesetzt. Die Verknüpfung biographischer Forschung mit Werkanalysen vor dem Hintergrund zeitgeschichtlicher Entwicklung ist das Anliegen dieser Abteilung.

In this sense, important scholars of criminal law shine light on the general development of their discipline since the second half of the twentieth century. They do not just describe their own work in legal scholarship and/or practice, but also discuss general issues pertaining to criminal law.
