Germany’s refugee lawyers and Anglo-German comparative law

The inauguration of the Anglo-German Law Journal coincides with two important anniversaries: the 70th anniversary of peace between the Germany and the United Kingdom, and the 80th anniversary of the infamous Nuremberg Race Laws. In this paper, I examine the contribution made by German jurists (predominantly Jewish), who fled or were expelled from Germany under the Third Reich, to Anglo-American law and to AngloGerman comparative law. I contrast their approach to national and comparative law with the published comments by Carl Schmitt at the close of a 1936 conference on the place of Jewish jurists and their authored works in German law faculties in the Third Reich. In particular, I contrast Schmitt’s professed views with the cosmopolitanism and comparative approach espoused by F.A. Mann.
