Summary
Herwig Schäfer describes the institutional prerequisites and the subjects of legal research and teaching at the Reich University of Strassburg. He begins with the founding of the university in 1941 and then focuses on the structure and the activities of the faculty of law. How were the chairs filled? What kind of research did the professors do? Was a special National Socialist mission fulfilled by the academic staff or the subject matter with which legal research and teaching were concerned? Herwig Schäfer presents an example of legal training under National Socialism and gives a particularly vivid description of the specific problems Alsatian law students encountered in their inner conflict between conformity and Resistance.
