SUMMARY:Prof. Dr. Dr. Jens M. Scherpe - Men giving birth\, children with three parents\, and other future family law problems
DESCRIPTION:Family law for a long time was only centred on one particular family unit: a man and a woman united in (indissoluble) marriage\, and with children. But we now live in a world where marriages often end in divorce; where categories of gender are not as fixed as they used to be and legal men can give birth to children; where children are not necessarily genetically related to their birthparents or indeed may have three genetic parents\, and even more social parents. The law has been too slow to react to societal changes and medical advances\, and these issues need to be dealt with as a matter of urgency.

SUMMARY:Prof. HUO - The Latest Development of Chinese Private International Law
DESCRIPTION:The past decade has witnessed an amazing acceleration in the development of private international law legislation in China as well as a signicant progress in the quality thereof. In 2010\, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress adopted China’s rst statute on private international law (Private International Law Act). The adoption of the Act is a historic event in Chinese legislative history\, as it indicates that China has modernised its conflict of law rules after many years of unremitting eorts made by legislators and scholars. Moreover\, the Supreme People’s Court of the PRC promulgated an Interpretation (I) of the Private International Law Act in 2013. The Interpretation (I) attempts to provide concrete explanations on the abstract articles mainly in Chapter One of the Act and to create new provisions to close the legal loopholes. In this respect\, the adoption of the Interpretation (I) can be regarded as a large step towards building a modern private international law system. Hence\, Chinese private international law has witnessed a silent revolution. \nAs its heading suggests\, this lecture seeks to make an objective and comprehensive assessment of the latest development of private international law legislation in China. The lecture will begin with introducing the legislative background of Chinese private international law. Subsequently it will make an objective and comprehensive assessment of the latest Chinese legislation in the eld of private international law. In the end\, the lecture will summarise the striking features as well as the defects of China’s latest legislation and outline the steps to improve it.

SUMMARY:Prof. ROTOLO and Prof. SCHICHL - Law and Logic - Current research trends\, applications and perspectives from a legal philosopher's and a mathematician's view
DESCRIPTION:In a first part\, research trends in legal logic from the viewpoint of legal philosophy and artificial intelligence and law will be outlined. In particular\, the following perspectives and challenges will be considered: \n(a) developing innovative logics and argumentation frameworks for modelling and representing legal interpretation and interpretive canons;\n(b) devising adequate and comprehensive logical models for understanding and reconstructing norm change mechanisms and legal dynamics;\n(c) studying the game-theoretic nature of argumentation in the law and identifying what game types can be used in general to model strategic legal dialogues;\n(d) combining deontic logics with other systems – e.g.\, action logics\, epistemic logics\, preference logics – to grasp legal concepts such as trust\, responsibility\, and influence. \nIn a second part this will be complemented by a discussion on how mathematical methods might help to classify and model knowledge in legal systems. Moreover\, the power of inference engines and their possible applications in judicature\, and abstract semantic models and their applicability to law will be reflected.

SUMMARY:Prof. MATHIS - Hilft die Regulierung durch „Nudges“ den Menschen\, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen\, oder gefährdet sie ihre Autonomie?
DESCRIPTION:Die neoklassische Theorie basiert auf dem Modell des homo oeconomicus\, der eigennützig und rational handelt. Hinzu kommt die stillschweigende Annahme der unbegrenzten Wil-lenskraft\, d.h. dass einmal gefällte Entscheidungen auch in die Tat umgesetzt werden. Zahl-reiche empirische Studien haben gezeigt\, dass die Annahmen der neoklassischen Theorie in der Realität oft nicht zutreffen. Durch die Verhaltensökonomie wird in erster Linie die Ratio-nalitätsannahme hinterfragt. \nDaniel Kahneman unterscheidet zwei Denksysteme: einen schnellen\, intuitiven Denkmodus (System 1) und einen langsamen\, rationalen Denkmodus (System 2). Denkmodus 1 bedient sich kognitiver Faustregeln („heuristics“)\, die zu kognitiven Verzerrungen („biases“) führen können. Um die Entscheidungen der Individuen zu verbes-sern\, schlagen Richard Thaler und Cass R. Sunstein vor\, die Entscheidungsarchitektur („choice architecture“) der Individuen so zu gestalten\, dass diese in eine bestimmte Richtung „gestupst“ werden. \nBeispiele solcher Stupser („nudges“) sind sog. defaults (z.B. Wider-spruchslösung bei der postmortalen Organspende)\, aber auch andere Maßnahmen wie z.B. Fliegen-Sticker in Toiletten zur Erhöhung der Hygiene oder die Platzierung der gesunden Nahrungsmittel in Kantinen an gut sichtbaren Stellen. Da beim Nudging das Individuum nicht zu einem bestimmten Verhalten gezwungen wird\, handelt es sich um eine Form des weichen Paternalismus („libertarian paternalism“). Kritiker bemängeln\, dass das Instrument intrans-parent und manipulativ sei. Außerdem maße sich der Staat ein Wissen an\, das er nicht habe.

SUMMARY:Prof. Olga KHAZOVA - The Concept of the Best Interests of the Child and New Forms of Families
DESCRIPTION:The main focus of the lecture will be the concept of the best interests of the child\, stipulated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This concept is considered to be one of the most important and difficult to be applied in practice. In family-related situations\, there are many factors that need to be taken into account when assessing what is in the best interests of a particular child. This task with regard to what is called ‘new forms of families’ or ‘alternative families’ is even much more difficult. \nAt the same time this is increasingly becoming an evolving issue in Europe. Apart from that\, it is often linked to another complicated and challenging topic – the right of a child who was born as the result of assisted reproduction and/or was adopted to know his or her origin. Although the legal regulation of all these issues is different in different countries\, and it is ‘still new territory’\, we may find some guidance in case-law of some of the European countries and in the ECHR jurisprudence.

SUMMARY:Prof. Philippe LORTIE - Direct judicial communications under the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention and the International Hague Network of Judges
DESCRIPTION:The principal aim of the International Hague Network of Judges (IHNJ) is to improve the operation of the Hague Child Abduction Convention and the handling of other cross-border civil cases relating to children by promoting international judicial co-operation. By creating direct contact points between members of the judiciary in different States\, speedier and more satisfactory resolutions of cross-border disputes involving children\, and in particular child abduction cases\, will be achieved. The IHNJ also allows for the exchange of information between judges to increase knowledge and improve practice under the 1980 Convention and under other Hague Children’s Conventions\, as appropriate. \nFurther to presenting the IHNJ\, the Emerging Guidance regarding the development of the IHNJ and the General Principles for Judicial Communications\, including commonly accepted safeguards for Direct Judicial Communications in specific cases\, within the context of the IHNJ\, Mr. Lortie will present examples of cases in which direct judicial communications took place. A discussion will follow with regard to other areas of the law where such communications could take place.

SUMMARY:Prof. GU Minkang - Development of Enterprises: Systems and Relevant Theories from the Angle of Company Law
DESCRIPTION:According to traditional company law theories\, there are at least ve dierences between a Company and a partnership: \n(1) a company is a legal person while a partnership (or sole proprietorship) is not\,\n(2) shareholders of a company can enjoy limited liability while partners bear unlimited liability\,\n(3) a company faces double Taxation while a partnership does not pay taxes\,\n(4) a Company has an independent personality and enjoys an independent management power while in a partnership situation\, only partners operate the business\,\n(5) a company is mainly regulated by law while partnership is mainly regulated by contract. \nBased on the recent developments of US Company law and other business laws\, this lecture intends to point out that these distinctions are becoming vague because there is a tendency towards companies and partnership sharing more similarities. Thus\, this lecture tries to outline some changes of company law theories in the near future.

SUMMARY:Prof. Franz Werro - European Private Law: Quo Vadis?
DESCRIPTION:European private law has been in the making for a number of decades. The main goal has been to serve the needs of the Single Market. Despite a variety of eorts to make national private laws converge\, little unity has emerged. Nevertheless\, the Single Market has survived and even grown. This talk oers a critical assessment of the EU’s achievements in the development of European private law. It will examine how the ECJ has interpreted the EU Directives in key areas of contract and tort\, and ask to what extent the case law of the European court has harmonized the law in these elds. \nThe presentation will also reect on possible alternatives to the Directives\, and question the meaning and need of codifying attempts such as the one proposed in the Law of Sales in 2011 (CESL). More generally\, the talk will reect on legal and cultural diversity in Europe. In particular\, it will ask how language determines the way we think\, and whether one law can be expressed in more than language. As private law is an expression of culture\, it may be that European private is impossible to achieve\, as long as cultures remain dierent from one country to the other.

SUMMARY:Prof. Frederick Schauer - Constitutionalism and its Costs
DESCRIPTION:There are many conceptions of constitutionalism\, and many aspects of it even within particular conceptions. But one important dimension of constitutionalism is the way in which constitutions impose second-order constraints on first-order policy\, political\, and moral preferences. Policies or decisions that might on the balance of reasons be wise may still be unconstitutional because they are procedurally imperfect or\, more importantly\, because they violate rights-based side constraints on otherwise advantageous policies. Even welfare- or happiness- or utility-maximizing policies may still be unconstitutional because they infringe on\, for example\, rights to equality\, or rights of freedom of expression or freedom of religion\, or the rights of those charged with crimes. \nSometimes constitutions impose such second-order constraints on first-order policies because of a concern with the long term rather than with what will be immediately beneficial. And sometimes constitutional constraints emerge from the recognition of fundamental individual human rights. But once we recognize that serious enforcement of constitutional constraints will lead to the invalidation of genuinely (at least in the short or intermediate term) wise or beneficial policies\, we can understand that constitutionalism comes at some cost to the general welfare. Dealing with how such costs should be understood\, recognized\, and allocated is one of the most important yet least appreciated aspects of constitutionalism\, and one of the problems that any robust constitutional culture must face.

SUMMARY:Prof. Schuz - Disparity and the Quest for Uniformity in Implementing the Hague Child Abduction Convention
DESCRIPTION:The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (“Abduction Convention”) 1980 came into force in December 1983. A central objective of the conventions concluded under the auspices of the Hague Conference on Private International Law is to harmonize the law governing topics involving international elements. The more widely ratified the Convention\, the greater the extent to which this objective appears to be realized. In this respect\, the Abduction Convention can perhaps be seen as the most successful of all the Hague Conventions\, with 92 Member States (as of April 2014). However\, true harmonization also requires uniformity in interpretation and implementation of the Convention . \nThis lecture will discuss some of the disparities in the way in which the Abduction Convention has been applied in different Members States over the last thirty years; consider possible reasons for those disparities and make suggestions as to how to promote greater uniformity. \nThe lecture will concentrate on the differing interpretations given to key concepts in the Convention by courts in different jurisdictions and different approaches to the applicability of the exceptions in frequently recurring fact situations\, but reference will also be made to institutional and procedural discrepancies.

SUMMARY:Prof. Samuel R. SIMON - Conflict of Laws and Core American Constitutional Values: The Collision of Freedom of the Press and a Criminal Defendants Fundamental Constitutional Rights
DESCRIPTION:This lecture by a distinguished practicing attorney and professor of law addresses the issues that arise in the United States when the constitutional right of a free press collides with a criminal defendant’s constitutional rights to a fair trial\, to a fair and impartial jury\, and to due process of law. \nIn the American criminal justice system\, an accused criminal defendant is innocent until proven guilty at trial. To this end\, he enjoys a panoply of unalienable constitutional rights that the courts jealously guard at each stage of the proceedings. Equally\, every American school child knows that freedom of the press — the constitutional freedom to publish without let or hindrance — is protected by the courts to the utmost possible extent. These rights may collide in any number of ways. When they do\, it falls to the judiciary to balance the press’s constitutional right to publish — which is correlative to the public’s right to know — with the constitutional protections given to everyone accused of a crime\, no matter how heinous. \nOne of the most difficult factual scenarios presented by such a collision arises in the context where the news media publishes articles based on confidential or private information that the reporter obtained in violation of a court order prohibiting its dissemination. As well as the conflicts that result from constitutional tensions (“free press vs. fair trial”)\, core conflict of laws principals are implicated when the reporter gathering the information is acting under color of the law of a state that provides an absolute privilege for such activities\, but the criminal prosecution that gave rise to the non-dissemination order occurs in another state with another body of law\, a state where the reporter is accorded\, at best\, only a qualified privilege. \nThe lecture by Visiting Guest Professor Simon\, which should be of interest to everyone concerned with comparative law and conflict of laws issues\, discusses and analyzes these conflicts in depth\, and suggests a mechanism by which the courts may render justice where\, as here\, fundamental constitutional and statutory rights collide. Ample opportunity for questions will be offered.

SUMMARY:Prof. Lin - Central-local Relationship in China and its Future
DESCRIPTION:Central-local relationship is an important constitutional issue which every nation\, whether big or small\, needs to deal with. It is usually prescribed for by the constitution of the nation. The formation of the central-local relationship in a specic nation often has its historical reasons. In nations adopting a federal system\, such as the United States of America\, Australia and India\, local governments\, especially state or provincial governments\, are the basis for the establishment of federal government\, which is the central government. In nations\nadopting a unitary system\, such as the United Kingdom (“the UK”) and China\, the purpose to set up local governments is to administer the state aairs more eciently. In many nations\, either federal or unitary\, all local governments have the same kind of relationship with the central government. That means all local governments have exactly the same degree of autonomy and jurisdiction. In some other nations\, however\, due to their dierent historical development\, dierent local governments may have dierent kinds of relationship with\nthe central government. \nChina is a unitary nation adopting the people’s congress system as its form of government. There exist four kinds of local governments at provincial level\, enjoying dierent degree of autonomy in China. This lecture intends to examine the future of central-local relationship under the people’s congress system\, especially\, (i) whether the existing status of central-local relationship is compatible with the people’s congress system\, (ii) whether the current status is the best arrangement\, and (iii) if not what is the possible future development?

SUMMARY:Prof. Dozhdev - Development of Property Rights in the Russian Federation: European Legal Tradition and Post-Soviet Transition
DESCRIPTION:The system of property rights in the current Russian legal framework as well as in the proposed Draft Amendments to the Civil Code (which will be adopted in 2014) are analyzed from a comparative law perspective. \nThe lecture will focus on both the conceptual framework of property rights in the Russian legal system as well as on practical issues in regard to judicial protection\, acquisition and limitation of ownership and other real rights. In addition\, the social and economic implications of the concept of property will be discussed. \nIn a systematic analysis\, property rights according to the Continental European tradition are contrasted with concepts and notions of Common Law. In this context\, the problems of eventual legal transplantation are thoroughly assessed. The examination of the immanent reforms of the Russian Civil Code reveals principles of the European legal tradition\, stimulates critical thinking and contributes considerably to the development of professional skills.

SUMMARY:Prof. Heinsohn - Introduction to the Theory of Ownership-based Economics with a View on the current Global Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Gunnar HEINSOHN\, Professor emeritus of the University Bremen\, is a historian\, sociologist and economist\, who elaborated — together with Otto STEIGER — a specic theory of modern economics\, namely the theory of ownership-based economics. \nThis theory deals with a symptomatic lacune of mainstream economics — this being the absence of any theoretical explanation of money and interest in mainstream economics — and focuses on legal institutions such as rights in rem (ownership) and contracts (credit agreements) to explain the origins of money and modern business cycles. \nThe key elements of mainstream economics\, such as the pretense of universalism and the assumption of a homo oeconomicus and his self-interest driven rationality\, are amongst those building blocks of contemporary economics which are in the focus of HEINSOHN‘s (and STEIGER‘s) critique. \nAt the ocassion of his visit to Vienna\, Professor HEINSOHN will present an introduction to his theory of ownershipbased economics. The tools developed by way of this introduction will be used to engage in a description and analysis of the current systemic crisis of the globalized economy.

SUMMARY:Prof. Scott Brewer - Universality of Logic and Globalisation of Legal Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Laws of nation states and laws of logic: The law of every existing legal system is local to time\, place\, and country. That proposition is central to Legal Positivist legal theories that are so familiar to jurists (professors and students) at this august institution who are so robustly aware of Hans Kelsen’s seminal jurisprudence. That proposition is also acknowledged by any plausible “natural law” theory of law. Logic has been well and powerfully characterized\, in the work of great philosophical logicians as diverse and influential as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Gottlob Frege\, as the discipline that articulates universal “laws of thought\,” local to neither time nor place nor country nor person. \nIn this presentation I shall describe a method of analysis\, the Logocratic Method\, that provides an explanation of both law and logic that captures the locality of law and the universality of logic. I shall explain how the Logocratic Method enables\, enhances\, and empowers critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of legal arguments\, which are at the heart of all local legal analysis. In providing this explanation\, I share and reinterpret and articulate Leibniz’ aspiration — high and deep and\, alas\, never fully realized by him — for what he called the “new general science for the instauration and development of the sciences for the benefit of public happiness”: \nWe will present here\, thus\, a new and marvelous calculus\, which occurs in all our reasonings and which is not less rigorous than arithmetic or algebra. Through this calculus\, it is always possible to terminate that part of a controversy that can be determined from the data\, by simply taking a pen\, so that it will suffice for two debaters (leaving aside issues of agreement about words) to say to each other: let us calculate! In this way\, just as when two arithmeticians dispute about a calculation mistake\, so too the method I am proposing will yield the same solution\, including for ignorant persons or for those who are not willing to use it. . . . We will conclude with an exhortation addressed to those persons who are most illustrious by virtue of dignity and knowledge\, about their opportunity to increment immensely human happiness in a short time\, if only we wish to do so.1 \nAfter outlining the Logocratic Method\, I conclude my exploration of the locality of the laws of nation-states and the universality of logic with a brief critical discussion of a legal paradox that Leibniz addressed in his doctoral dissertation on law\, a “perplexing” case that he sought to resolve as part of his lifelong effort to bring “the light of reason” to law through the use of logic. I argue that Leibniz\, great master of logic though he was\, failed to use the full resources of logic to resolve this particular paradox\, and that the Logocratic Method\, properly applied here\, provides one example of the deep utility of logic for explaining how legal argument both can\, and all too often does\, fail to meet the legitimate demands of universal logical integrity. \n1: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz: The Art of Controversies.

SUMMARY:Dr. Fan Yang - Mediation and its Impact on Legal Systems in Asia-Pacific
DESCRIPTION:Mediation plays an ever more important role in the resolution of disputes around the world. While attention to mediation continues to grow both within and outside of the Asia-Pacific region\, scholarship and research on the impact of mediation on legal systems and legal cultures remains sparse. Before a meaningful comparison of the role that mediation plays in different legal systems can be advanced\, some fundamental questions need to be answered. \nAlthough Asian cultures traditionally favour harmony and reconciliation over litigation and adjudication\, this broad generalization requires careful analysis of regional diversity and its underlying reasons\, as will be demonstrated by the study presented in this lecture. Differences in understanding are likely to be at their greatest when parties from different jurisdictions interact through the mediation process. Even where parties are from jurisdictions with similar laws\, cultural differences may lead to significantly different views of what constitutes appropriate or effective mediation practice. \nThis lecture presents a comparative study of the mediation practice in some selected jurisdictions\, including Australia\, Austria\, Canada\, China (Mainland)\, Chinese Taipei\, Hong Kong SAR\, India\, Indonesia\, Japan\, Korea\, New Zealand\, Singapore\, Thailand and the United States. It seeks to provide some valuable insights into the issues facing the mediators\, jurists\, practitioners and scholars in the respective jurisdictions.

SUMMARY:Prof. Hugues Fulchiron - La reconnaissance au service de la libre circulation des personnes et de leur statut familial dans l’espace européen
DESCRIPTION:De plus de pays ouvrent le mariage aux personnes de même sexe. Face l’ampleur des problèmes posés et aux oppositions radicales qui séparent désormais les Etats européens\, praticiens et chercheurs ont été amenés à repenser une partie des mécanismes du droit international privé et à imaginer des solutions nouvelles\, inspirées notamment de la théorie de la reconnaissance. Même si la Cour EDH des droits de l’homme (arrêt Schalk et Kopf c. Autriche) et la CJUE font preuve d’une grande prudence\, pourrait s’affirmer peu à peu un véritable principe de libre circulation des mariages homosexuels (et au delà des situations familiales) valablement créés à l’étranger\, dans le prolongement des arrêts Wagner c. Luxembourg et Négrépontis-Giannisise c. Grèce de la Cour EDH et de des arrêts Garcia Avello et Sayn-Wittgenstein de la CJUE.

SUMMARY:Philippe Lortie - The 2007 Hague Child Support Convention – Opportunities for Domestic Reforms
DESCRIPTION:Further to providing a picture of the international recovery of child support before the 2007 Hague Child Support Convention and presenting an overview of the 2007 Hague Child Support Convention\, Mr. Lortie will highlight the practical challenges in this area of the law such as the increasing number of divorces and the resulting number of child support cases\, the budget crises experienced by many States and the role of States in providing welfare\, social security payments in lieu of the child support that should normally be provided by the parents. \nAgainst this background\, Mr. Lortie will present opportunities for domestic law reforms in relation to the recovery of child support with respect to matters such as: effective access to procedures (e.g.\, administrative versus court-based systems); the location of the debtor; the establishment of parentage; the determination of the amount of maintenance to be paid; the swift recognition\, enforceability and effective enforcement of decisions; information technology; and\, questions of applicable law.

SUMMARY:Tagung - Rechtsvergleichung als juristische Auslegungsmethode
DESCRIPTION:Die interdisziplinäre Tagung befasst sich mit der Bedeutung der Komparatistik in ihrer Funktion als Auslegungsmethode des Rechts. Die Palette der hier angesprochenen Fachbereiche umfasst Kollisionsrecht\, Zivilrecht\, Verfahrensrecht\, Strafrecht\, Verfassungs- und Verwaltungsrecht sowie Völker- und Europarecht. Dabei werden nicht nur methodische Überlegungen zur Rechtsvergleichung aus Sicht der einzelnen Disziplinen angestellt\, sondern es wird auch die konkrete Judikatur österreichischer und europäischer Höchstgerichte darauf hin untersucht\, ob und unter welchen Bedingungen Rechtsvergleichung als Methode der juristischen Interpretation und damit auch in der Rechtspraxis Anwendung findet. Die Tagung strebt wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse darüber an\, ob juristische Disziplinen und Höchstgerichte die rechtsvergleichende Methode unterschiedlich anwenden und auf welche Ursachen dies zurückgeführt werden kann. Insbesondere wird dabei auf folgende Fragestellungen eingegangen: Lassen sich in Lehre und Praxis aktuelle Tendenzen feststellen\, die Rechtsvergleichung stärker als Auslegungsmethode heranzuziehen? Welche Rolle spielen hierbei europäische und globale Integrationsprozesse? Entwickeln Gerichte\, die rechtsvergleichend arbeiten\, eine eigene „Methodologie der Rechtsvergleichung“\, oder wird die Rechtsvergleichung lediglich als modisches Beiwerk einer auf andere Interpretationsmethoden gestützten Lösung von Rechtsproblemen bemüht? Handelt es sich dabei um eine „fünfte Auslegungsmethode“\, oder können Rechtssysteme auch eine andere (positive/negative) Handhabung der Rechtsvergleichung vorschreiben? Können rechtsstaatliche und demokratische Bedenken gegen die Rechtsvergleichung durch ihre Problemlösungskapazität aufgewogen werden? Welche methodischen Anforderungen an eine rechtsvergleichende Auslegung lassen sich aus Sicht der verschiedenen juristischen Disziplinen formulieren\, und welche Erfahrungen können dafür nutzbar gemacht werden?

SUMMARY:Prof. Ulrich Magnus - CISG und Gemeinsames Europäisches Kaufrecht – Partner oder Gegner?
DESCRIPTION:Zum Ende 2011 hatte die EU-Kommission mit dem Entwurf einer Verordnung zu einem Gemeinsamen Europäischen Kaufrecht (GEKR oder CESL) überrascht. Dieser Entwurf soll das materielle Recht für internationale Käufe regeln\, dabei aber nicht nur Verbraucherkäufe\, sondern auch grenzüberschreitende Käufe zwischen bestimmten Unternehmen erfassen. Nun besteht für transnationale Kaufgeschäfte zwischen Kaufleuten aber seit langem das wohleingeführte und weltweit erfolgreiche Wiener UN-Kaufrecht (CISG). Dieses Nebeneinander gibt dringenden Anlass\, sich eingehend mit dem Verhältnis der beiden Instrumente zueinander zu beschäftigen. Macht das Europäische Kaufrecht neben dem CISG Sinn? Wie weit überschneiden sich beide Regelungen? Genügt der optionale Charakter des GEKR/CESL für ein spannungsfreies Nebeneinander? Neben einem Überblick über die wesentlichen Grundzüge des neuen Entwurfs sind Antworten auf diese Fragen zu geben.

SUMMARY:Prof. Evgeny Sukhanov - Die Probleme der Modernisierung des geltenden russischen Zivilgesetzbuches
DESCRIPTION:1. Die Notwendigkeit der Modernisierung und “Erneuerung” des geltenden russischen Zivilgesetzbuches von 1995 – 2006: \na) die faktische Geltung des alten sowjetischen Sachenrechts (“Bodenrechts”)\, System der begrenzten Sachenrechte auf Grundstücke und Probleme der staatlichen Eintragung der Rechte auf Immobilien (Grundstücke); \nb) die Körperschaften (die Gesellschaften) und Vereine mit ideellen Zwecken im geltenden und künftigen russischen Gesellschaftsrecht.\n2. Benötigt Russland zusätzlich zum Zivilgesetzbuch auch ein selbständiges Handelsgesetzbuch (“Unternehmensgesetzbuch”)? \na) das selbständige “Unternehmensrecht” gilt derzeit in Russland und in einigen anderen GUS-Staaten (Ukraine\, Kasachstan) als Mischung von Privat- und öffentlichem Recht – im Sinne des verbliebenen Teils der Theorie “des sozialistischen Wirtschaftsrechts”; \nb) die moderne allgemeine Entwicklung des Handelsrechts und seiner Kodifikation in Mittel- und Osteuropäischen Staaten.\n3. Über die Grenze des ausländischen rechtlichen Einflusses auf die moderne Entwicklung der russischen Zivilgesetzgebung: \na) ein “Kampf” zwischen europäischem Zivilrecht und anglo-amerikanischem common law auf dem “russischen Feld” in den Bereichen Vertrags- und Sachenrecht; \nb) die widersprüchlichen Tendenzen der Entwicklung des Gesellschaftsrechts (Arten der Gesellschaften\, die Notwendigkeit eines Satzungskapitals\, die Leitung in der Gesellschaft und Stimmbindungsverträge im russischen Gesellschaftsrecht).

SUMMARY:Prof. Dr. Yasuhiro Okuda – Japanisches Immigrationsrecht: historische Entwicklung und Gegenwart
DESCRIPTION:Der Vortragende gibt einen Überblick auf die historische Entwicklung des japanischen Immigrationsrechts und erörtert die Beziehungen zu benachbarten Rechtsgebieten wie IPR\, Staatsangehörigkeitsrecht\, und Menschenrechtskonventionen. Er beginnt mit der Geschichte seit dem 16. Jahrhundert\, als die ersten Europäer Japan erreichten\, um dem Zuhörer eine konkrete Vorstellung vom Land zu vermitteln. Danach betrachtet er Gesetze in angrenzenden Rechtsgebieten\, deren Funktion durch das Immigrationsrecht beschränkt wird. Diese Gesetze regulieren die rechtliche Stellung von Ausländern\, die erst dann abgesichert ist\, wenn die Betroffenen in Japan wohnberechtigt sind. Der Vortragende argumentiert\, dass das Immigrationsrecht und die angrenzenden Rechtsgebiete eng verbunden betrachtet werden sollten.

SUMMARY:Dr. Andrey Shirvindt - Das Schuldverhältnis in der Reform des russischen Zivilgesetzbuches
DESCRIPTION:Eine tiefgreifende Reform des zentralen Kodifikationswerks lädt zu einer Grundlagendiskussion ein. Damit Gesetzesänderungen die erwünschten Erfolge zeitigen\, bedarf es der Rückbesinnung auf den bestehenden Rechtsbestand. Überlieferte Institute und Begriffe\, die im Alltag der Rechtsanwendung bzw. Gesetzesauslegung unkritisch als selbstverständlich wahrgenommen werden\, erscheinen bei Reformprojekten plötzlich problematisch. Zahlreiche Entwürfe\, die heute die existierenden Formen des juristischen Denkens de lege ferenda in Frage stellen und eine Rechtfertigung von jenen herausfordern\, die möglicherweise Bedenken gegen Reformen hegen\, belegen oft mangelnde Einsicht in die historischen und dogmatischen Grundlagen der betroffenen Rechtsordnung und Rechtstradition. \nIm Rahmen der umfassenden Reform des russischen Zivilrechts betreffen viele Änderungsvorschläge das allgemeine Schuldrecht. So sind etwa der Inhalt des Schuldverhältnisses\, seine Systematisierung nach dem Entstehungsgrund und sein Anwendungsbereich ebenso sowie die Modalitäten der Drittleistung von der Reform erfasst. Wohl am weitesten geht das Reformprojekt\, wenn es den Grundsatz der Naturalerfüllung in das russische Recht einführt. \nDr. Andrey Shirvindt unterzieht die diversen Vorschläge einer rechtlichen Analyse und Würdigung.

SUMMARY:Prof. van Hoecke - Exported European Law vs African traditions
DESCRIPTION:Law transfers often have not been successful because they didn’t fit with the local legal culture. Of course\, such local legal cultures may be stronger in some areas\, such as family law\, than in others\,such as air traffic regulation. \nIn my lecture I will study the effect of legal transfers from Europe to Africa in the area of family law\, as this is the area of law which is generally considered to be the most closely linked with local cultures. Examples will be drawn from several African countries\, with an emphasis on Nigerian law.

SUMMARY:Prof. Talia Einhorn - The Coordinating Role of Private International Law
DESCRIPTION:In the post-industrial era ever more goods\, services\, persons and capital cross national borders. Business organizations – companies\, corporate groups and state-owned enterprises – “enter” and “exit” states offering goods and services according to their business needs. Each of these requires coordination of the legal systems in which the various activities take place\, in order to inspire confidence that an activity undertaken in the territory of one country will not be frustrated in another. \nThe presentation will explore the coordinating role of private international law\, on an international level as well as within each national system. The legislature has to take account of cross-border effects of its legislation also when enacting statutes that\, on their face\, seem to concern purely domestic matters. Private international law provides courts with tools that enable coordination even in the absence of legislation\, such as the preliminary question\, renvoi\, and the application of economic conflict-of-law rules. Occasionally\, there may be need to coordinate results obtained under religious law and secular law. In certain matters there is need for coordination on an administrative and regulatory level. Finally\, coordination has also its limits and some of those will be addressed.

SUMMARY:Prof. David Kershaw - The Path of Corporate Fiduciary Law
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary accounts of corporate legal evolution view lawmakers as highly responsive to the economic interests of both pressure groups and markets. Through this lens law is understood to be the product of pressures exerted by managers\, investors\, institutional shareholders and the Federal Government\, and the incentives of state lawmakers to accommodate the interests of these pressure groups. This view dominates the current understanding of corporate legal evolution in the United States and is becoming highly influential in comparative accounts of corporate legal variation. \nThis lecture sounds a note of objection: it argues that the disciplinary pendulum has swung too far toward external accounts of legal evolution and too far away from internal accounts of legal change\, which view the path of law\, at least in part\, as the product of the internally generated constraints of the legal system. Contrary to the dominant account of the evolution of self-dealing law in the United States\, the contemporary self-dealing rule is not the unexplained product of external market pressures but is the logical product of the path of fiduciary law trodden through the corporate conception. The lecture shows that for contemporary corporate law a significant dose of inevitability was administered at the inception of general incorporation.

SUMMARY:Prof. Olga Khazova - Family Law in the Post-Soviet European Territory: What does it look like?
DESCRIPTION:As the result of the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991\, new independent states were formed on European territory: Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Belarus\, Estonia\, Georgia\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Moldova\, Russia\, and Ukraine. This served as an impetus to extensive law reforms in these countries. Family law reform was a constituent part of this revision. It had to be adapted to the new social and economic realities\, which were brought to these countries together with tremendous political changes. In the former USSR\, the Soviet republics did not have a lot of freedom in designing their own family laws; all the codes on marriage and the family were practically the same\, being based on the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the USSR and Soviet Republics on Marriage and the Family and having\, in fact\, the Russian Federation (at that time RSFSR) Code on Marriage and the Family 1969 as a common compulsory model. Therefore it is not surprising that after these countries became independent and were released from the pressure of the Soviet state\, a completely different picture of family law emerged. \nThe lecture will focus on the main changes that were introduced into family law of the post-Soviet European countries; it will attempt to explain the existing diversity in legal regulation\, as well as reveal the main trends in post-Soviet European family law.
