Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
The grade is determined by three factors: regular attendance and active participation in the regular sessions plus two out of several extra sessions that are on offer (students may miss not more than two sessions), a translation and critical commentary of a brief passage from Christian Wilhelm Dohm's famous treatise "Über die bürgerliche Verbesserung der Juden" (English-only speakers may help fellow-students) and a written exam.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The successful completion of the course is conditional on regular attendance, the translation and critical commentary of a short text and a pass in the written exam. The written exam makes up two thirds of the final grade.

In terms of method the course is a) taught on the basis of concrete examples for "law in action" (noms, contracts, jurisdiction and administration) rather than "law in the books" and b) the assumption that the history of the legal positon of the Jews is of interest also for our undestanding of general legal history.
