History of the Law-related Max Planck Institutes since 1945

What was the role of legal scholarship within the Max-Planck-Society? How did the Law-related Max-Planck-Institutes contribute to Germany’s legal development since 1945? These questions will be addressed in a workshop this Friday at the MPIeR, attended by legal historians from all over Germany. The workshop is a kick-off event for a book on legal scholarship within the Max-Planck-Society from its new foundation after World War II to our current times. The book contributes to the broader reappraisal of the Max-Planck-Society’s history since 1945.
