Georgetown University Law School, Washington, D. C., May, No VOL. 3 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL, WASHINGTON, D. C., MAY, NO. 1 Father Lucey Completes 20 Years Georgetown Student Bar Association A s Regent of Law School Inaugurates Successful Program Law School Has Made Great Strides Under His Direction The Student Bar Association of Georgetown University held its first annual election in October, 1950. The new all-student organization is affiliated By William Smith, ’53 with the American Law Student Association. Elected to lead the organization were: Roger M. Dougherty, AT. </., ’51, President; ( harles F. Crimi, A. I ., ’52, Vice President; Robert E. McGannon, Mo., *51, Secretary; and William J. McDonald, N. Y., ’52, Treasurer. This first regular election was preceded by many months of work by temporary committees composed of law students. In May, 1.950, the chief justices of each law club in the law school met to discuss the possibility of forming a student organization here at Georgetown Law School. The pro­ posed organization was to function along the line of similar student organiza­ tions in many of the major law schools of the country. With the approval of the Regent of the Law School, the plans for the proposed organization began with the election of a student committee to form a definite organization during the summer. Donald M.

  • The Impact of the Nazi Racial Decrees on the University of Heidelberg Arye Carmon
    The Impact of the Nazi Racial Decrees on the University of Heidelberg Arye Carmon One of the first objectives realized by the Nazis during the years 1933-1935 was the "cleansing" (Saeuberung) of the German universities of their Jewish students and lecturers. This purge was connected with the attempt to "co- ordinate" (Gleichschaltung) German academic life with the tenets of National Socialism. Yet, while "co-ordination" and "cleansing" seem to us in retrospect to be interrelated processes, the Nazis considered them as two separate issues. The former was a long-range objective, which was never fully realized, while the ousting of Jewish academics was in fact one aspect of the Nazi "solution of the Jewish question." The following is an attempt to describe the "cleansing" process and to analyze its implications1. Although the research presented here is a case study of a single university - Heidelberg* - it also constitutes all attempt to 1 For a description of the expulsion of Jewish academics from the Berlin- Charlottenburg T.H. see Hans Ebert, “The Expulsion of the Jews from the Berlin-Charlottenburg Technische Hochschule,” Leo Baeck Institute Year Book , Vol. XIX, 1974, pp. 155–171. *The University of Heidelberg, established in 1386 by the Elector Palatine of the Rhine, Ruprecht I, for several centuries played a significant role in the spiritual life of Central Europe. In May 1803, during the Napoleonic wars, Karl Friedrich, Markgraf of Baden, issued an edict for the re-organisation of the university. This edict effected a departure from the medieval tradition of studium generale , according to which education had been regarded primarily as a tool of the state.

  • Christian Kirchner Als Gesellschaftsrechtler Christine Windbichler, 21.3.2014, Gedächtnisveranstaltung Und Symposion Zur Feschriftübergabe
    Christian Kirchner als Gesellschaftsrechtler Christine Windbichler, 21.3.2014, Gedächtnisveranstaltung und Symposion zur Feschriftübergabe Was machen eigentlich Gesellschaftsrechtler? Sie streiten z.B. über dreißig Jahre lang heftig und höchstpersönlich über eine – rechtsvergleichend betrachtet – Quisquilie wie die rechtliche Verselbständigung der Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts. Die Sieger jubelten, als endlich der zweite BGH‐Senat den Gesetzestext in die Tonne trat. Solch ein Gesellschaftsrechtler ist Christian Kirchner nicht. Ich spreche im Präsens, denn sein Œuvre prägt gegenwärtig und damit zukunftsweisend. Christian Kirchner hat sich selbstverständlich mit aktuellen dogmatischen Fragen befasst, eben auch 1 mit den Bedingungen für die rechtliche Verselbständigung eines Personenverbandes, nur eben nicht unter Bemühung der Transsubstantation der Gesamthand von der Vermögenszuordnung zum Subjekt. Wer über Christian Kirchner als Gesellschaftsrechtler sprechen will, muss mit Heinrich Kronstein anfangen. Kronstein hat ein bahnbrechendes Buch geschrieben: „Die abhängige juristische Person“, erschienen 1931, das nicht den Kron‐, sondern den Grundstein für die Entwicklung eines Konzernrechts legte. Die Arbeit war als Habilitationsschrift gedacht, ein Habilitationsverfahren hat aber nie stattgefunden, weil Kronstein in die USA emigrieren musste, zum Glück ist das rechtzeitig gelungen. Dort wirkte er als Hochschullehrer u.a. an der Georgetown University und der Columbia University. Mit dieser reichen Erfahrung kehrte er nach dem Krieg nach

Older men will find difficulty. - Borchard, 1938 In 1933, Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist party assumed control of the German government. Over the next decade, Nazi- orchestrated persecution would force hundreds of academics, includ- ing several dozen law teachers, from their positions at European uni- versities. 3 Many displaced jurists sought to continue their careers in the United States.
