This issue finds us engaged with the issues and critical perspectives that have long occupied the Journal’s editors.
The significance of the past for German law is profoundly evident in Federal Minister Heiko Maas' speech on the proposed reform of Germany's homicide statutes.  The past is also very present in an excellent survey of German property restitution issues that was contributed by Dostal, Strauss and von Carlowitz.
Continuing one of the Journal's finest traditions, we are very lucky to have a wonderful case-note on a recent decision of the Federal Constitutional Court.  Fenger and Lindemann provide an invaluable guide for the Journal's English-speaking readership to the FRAPORT decision, which, according to some light-hearted commentary, made the Frankfurt Airport the "freest place on earth."
Europe also gets its due.  Zhang considers the European data protection regime from a unique, transnational perspective.  And Abazi examines the parliamentary control of the increasingly relevant EUROPOL.
I am particularly pleased to be able to offer you a set of pieces under the heading "Europe and the Lost Generation."  These pieces—from Poulou, Brunkhorst, Caruso and Fach-Gomez—respond to a GLJ call for papers that sought to give voice to legal researchers who are thinking and writing about the European project in the light of the human toll that has resulted from the rescue and bailout measures deployed in response to Europe's soverign-debt and banking crises.  Perhaps these pieces will stir others to write, thereby breaking the silence on this political and moral calamity.  We would welcome new contributions on this point.
Finally, it is with great sadness that we join many others in mourning the recent passing of McGill Law Professor H. Patrick Glenn.  No one who works from a transnational perspective on the law will have eluded his profound insights on the enduring complexity and diversity of increasingly globalized legal systems.  The work of the German Law Journal—existing at the intersection of the local and cosmopolitan—is unavoidably a continuing tribute to Glenn.

The New Issue of The German Law Journal

Dear Readers:

Please note that the new issue of the German Law Journal, Review of Developments in German, European and International Jurisprudence is now available at www.germanlawjournal.com.

We trust you will find this issue as engaging and interesting as we found the work with our authors who were generous enough to contribute to this number. We, they are covering a broad range of highly timely topics in a thoughtful and comparative manner. Reading is highly recommended!

But this issue also marks the first one without our much-missed editorial board member, Professor Cornelia Vismann, among us. This issue includes a short obituary, in which you will also find a note regarding a commemoration symposium we are planning for the spring of 2011.

Sincerely
Russell Miller and Peer Zumbansen

The German Law Journal New Issue

Dear Readers:

We are pleased to announce to you the new issue of the German Law Journal, Review of Developments in German, European & International Jurisprudence, which is now available - at no cost - at www.germanlawjournal.com.

April came and went, a volcano erupted and might continue to do so. 'The Economist' explores 'earthly powers'and we, what do we do? We continue our inquiry into the Lisbon process and the German Federal Constitutional Court's much discussed judgment (see already the contributions to Vol. 10, No. 8 (August, 2009, available at: http://www.germanlawjournal.com/index.php?pageID=2&vol=10&no=8). Furthermore we are honoured to publish Professor Thomas Raiser's Keynote Address on "Sociology of Law in Germany", which he delivered in March at the Bi-Annual Conference of the German Law & Society Association in Bremen. The German version of the Address is simultaneously published in the Journal: Rechtswissenschaft (Nomos Verlag): http://www.rechtswissenschaft.nomos.de/.

The new issue includes as well an assessment of member state procedural liability and two thoughtful book review essays.

Please allow us to draw your attention to a Special Call for Submissions for a Mini-Symposium on Academic Freedom, Critical Book Reviews and the Boundaries between 'Scholarly Critique' and Libel. The submission deadline for very short thought-pieces, in particular with view to the different existing legal regimes in other countries, is 15 May 2010. Please visit our homepage for the complete call for submissions and for more detail.

Hat tip: H-Law

For the 2010 German Studies Association meeting in Oakland,California, we will be convening a series of panels on matters legal.We envisage a broad set of topics, from the development of specific legal practices and cultures in Germany to the function of law in wider cultural fields; from theories of law and the emergence of the so-called Rechtstaat to the development of business law and legal integration in the nineteenth century. From the philosophy of law to the legal cultures and literatures that extend from medieval to modern periods, these panels are intended to foster an extended conversation on the law across humanities and social science disciplines. We encourage submissions from scholars in all aspects of the law, and are especially interested in both methodological and temporal breadth.

The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2010. For queries and submissions, please contact:
Professor Timothy Guinnane, Economics, Yale University(timothy.guinnane@yale.edu)
Professor Jonathan Sheehan, History, University of California, Berkeley (sheehan@berkeley.edu)

The full call for papers is here.
