Synopsis

This book translates the German Civil Code of 1896 into English for the first time, providing English-speaking lawyers an invaluable resource to compare their legal systems to that of the Germans. The German Civil Code, in turn, serves as a valuable introduction to the history of civil law in Europe, providing a thorough examination of topics ranging from German property law, to its laws on human interaction, and criminal procedure. Despite being over a century old, the text remains one of the most meticulously considered statements of a nation's laws that the world has ever seen, and this English translation enriches the legal scholarship available to the English-speaking world.
