Jurist:in werden. Ausbildung, „Handwerkszeug“, Haltung (1869-2023)

25. Jahrestagung des Forums Justizgeschichte

20. bis 22. Oktober 2023 - Deutsche Richterakademie in Wustrau/Ruppiner See

Seit 2022 soll in Jurastudium und Referendariat die Vermittlung des Rechts „auch in Auseinandersetzung mit dem nationalsozialistischen Unrecht und dem Unrecht der SED-Diktatur“ erfolgen (§ 5a Abs. 2 Satz 3 Deutsches Richtergesetz [DRiG]). Universitäten und Justizverwaltungen stehen jetzt vor der Frage, wie diese Vorgabe umgesetzt werden soll – und zu welchem Zweck. Kann sie die „Fähigkeit zur kritischen Reflexion des Rechts“ (§ 5a Abs. 3 DRiG) fördern? Können so Jurist:innen gar, wie im Gesetzgebungsverfahren argumentiert wurde, „Mut, Gegenrede und Widerständigkeit“ erlernen, also eine couragierte demokratisch-rechtsstaatliche Haltung?

The Hungarian Optants Question in transnational perspectives. International organizations and legal dispute settlements of economic and minority problems in the interwar period

The end of WW I drastically changed the political map of Central and Eastern Europe and disrupted large imperial economic markets. With new or enlarged independent states appearing, their elites were facing diplomatic challenges, as well as legal, and economic problems, both internationally and domestically. This conference focuses on the Hungarian Optants Question, using it however as a case study for the larger scope of exploring fields of a changing statehood in the interwar period.
