Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the history and evolution of the German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof - BGH) from 1950 to 1965. It delves into the challenges faced during its establishment in post-war Germany, the transitional justice system, and the integration of former Nazi-era judges into the judiciary. The work analyzes the political, social, and institutional factors shaping the BGH, highlighting its role in rebuilding a democratic legal system. Supported by extensive archival research and personal accounts, the authors provide insights into the



court's personnel, organizational structure, and interaction with broader societal changes. The book is intended for readers interested in legal history, post-war justice, and the institutional development of Germany's judiciary system.
