The German Association of Comparative Law presents in this volume the German contributions to the 21st International Congress of Comparative Law 2022 in Asunción (Paraguay) organised by the International Academy of Comparative Law. One main topic of the congress is the digitalization and its legal, social and economic consequences, including the phenomenon of hate speech, smart contracts, streaming and artificial intelligence accountability of public administration. A further set of papers refers to climate change and bioethics. Several contributions deal with classical topics of comparative law from a more contemporary perspective, such as access to justice, emergency law, force majeure, and the rule of law. The volume provides an overview of the state of discussions within German legal scholarship.Survey of contents
