Jhering Tage 2018

Friday 5 and Saturday 6 October the department of Legal History of the University of Groningen organizes, in cooperation with the departments of Legal History of the Radboud University Nijmegen and the University of Leiden, a seminar in honor of the life and works of Rudolf (von) Jhering (1818-1892).

During the seminar Jhering's contributions to the study of Roman Law as valid during his days will be reviewed, as well as his thoughts on practising research in law, his ideas on legal education and ofcourse the impact of his writings on modernday private law in various countries, whose legal systems are (co-)based on Roman Law.

The seminar will start on Friday 5 October around noon with a lunch, followed by several lectures (see the programme below) in German or English. On Saturday an excursion by bus is planned from Groningen to Aurich, Jhering's place of birth, where a visit to the local museum, a lecture and the final lunch are scheduled.
