The present study is dedicated to the life and work of the lawyer Clive M. Schmitthoff. Its thematic focus is directed towards Schmitthoff's concept of a transnational international trade law, which is considered to be a foundational theory of a modern lex mercatoria. The volume's main focus is the question of what prompted Schmitthoff to formulate the theses of his theory on a transnational trade law. Applying an analytical approach, Hendrike Wulfert-Markert examines the inextricable links between Schmitthoff's scholarly works and his biography in a bid to trace the evolution of his observations and ideas on the development of a new international law. The author contends that no singular event inspired Schmitthoff's key concept; instead, various contexts proved essential for its emergence, particularly his international perspective that of a lawyer with expertise in comparative law and educated in both Western legal systems, those of civil and common law.
