The law sets a framework for market transactions and competition. However, in recent years, the law itself has become a commodity in many regions of the world and in various fields: especially corporate, bankruptcy and contract law, not to mention the settlement of disputes. Individuals and companies search for the most attractive rules of law and states compete for the favour of demanders through their offers. | Speakers: Theodor Baums, Horst Eidenmüller, Ana Rodríguez Pérez, Daniela Weber-Rey | Moderation: Wolfgang Schön

Recht setzt Rahmenbedingungen für Markttransaktionen und Wettbewerb. In den letzten Jahren aber ist Recht selbst zu einem marktgängigen Produkt geworden – in vielen Regionen dieser Welt und auf verschiedenen Gebieten. Dazu gehören insbesondere das Gesellschafts-, Insolvenz- und Vertragsrecht und das Recht der Streitbeilegung. Einzelpersonen und Unternehmen suchen sich die für sie attraktivsten Rechtsregeln aus, und Staaten konkurrieren um die Gunst dieser Nachfrager. In der Vorlesungsreihe werden international renommierte Juristen und Wirtschaftswissenschaftler verschiedene Teilbereiche des Rechtsmarktes analysieren. | Referenten: Hans Schulte-Nölke, Gerhard Wagner | Moderation: Horst Eidenmüller
