Features: This textbook series features broad representation, with the authors being professors from German university law faculties who possess extensive teaching experience and are often concurrently judges in German courts. By integrating legal theory with judicial practice, domestic faculty and students can gain a realistic understanding of German law in a relatively short time. Under the dual impetus of globalization and the European unification process, the ancient German law has undergone continuous transformation. It can be said that the recent reform of the German law of obligations has fundamentally altered the content of the century-old German Civil Code to comply with EU directives and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. German law has also been drawing on foreign experiences. The German bankruptcy law reform, for instance, has partially adopted the American model. Meanwhile, the recent reform of the German civil procedure law has introduced the institution of mediation. According to the new law, judges are obligated to inquire whether the parties have the possibility of mediation at the outset of the trial, which immediately brings to mind China's mediation system. As a necessary supplement to these textbooks, we will also periodically translate and compile important German legal draft explanations and academically valuable papers into Chinese to keep you informed of the latest developments in German law.
