Lawyers of Jewish origin in the German Empire and in the Weimar Republic

Peter Landau is one of the outstanding German legal historians of the 20th century. Here he potrays the work of German lawyers of Jewish origin during the heyday of their activity from the German Empire to the end of the Weimar Republic. Michael Stolleis wrote an epilogue for the volume. "The reassurance of today's generation about the achievements of German lawyers of Jewish origin can serve to find the 'common intellectual center' (Savigny) that also connects German lawyers at the end of the 20th century with their Jewish predecessors".
