Höchstrichterliche Rechtsprechung in der frühen Bundesrepublik

Today´s Germany is characterized by a high degree of judicializing of state and society, something that the reconstruction of federal courts played a significant role in. A judiciary operating on a rule of law basis - one which had managed to distance itself clearly from past National Socialist contents - developed very quickly and despite the continuity of personnel that there had been in the regime´s legal system. This volume looks at the federal courts and the Federal Constitutional Court, highlighting the complex judicial and contemporary history of the young republic.
