Law

Rudolf von Jhering (1818-1892) was one of the leading Roman lawyers in nineteenth century Germany and famously developed a sophisticated methodology for the »Begriffsjurisprudenz« (conceptual jurisprudence) of his time. At mid-career, however, he turned to a sociological and instrumentalist jurisprudence and shaped twentieth century legal thought in Germany and beyond, especially in the United States.

By applying post-categorical approaches and transferring civil liberties dogmatics, Luisa Lehning develops a dogmatic framework that identifies multidimensional inequalities that have previously been overlooked in legal terms and makes it possible to determine their specific intensity for members of marginalized groups.

For disputes concerning digital goods, we still apply the laws that date back to a time long before digitalisation and the internet. This practice is now often reaching its limits. Based on the question of which jurisdictional interests the law follows, the author makes concrete proposals for resolving jurisdictional issues in disputes over digital goods.

Patrick Zurth develops a concept of injunctive relief in German law based on tort law. To this end, he discusses the defendant, the »disturber« (»Störer«), as the most important element of the relevant provision and addresses both historical, economic, and dogmatic aspects as well as intellectual property law.
