EDITORIAL 

Dear Friends of Bucerius Law School, 

Academic ceremonies are a highlight on a university’s 

annual calendar. This is equally true for the awarding of 

the “Bachelor of Laws” degree to our class of 2008. By 

bright sunlight, professors, proud parents and relatives, 

honoured guests of the university – as well as friends and 

supporters – gathered together. The combination of conviviality 

and youthful exuberance, academic sincerity and 

easy humour made this academic ceremony exceptionally 

poignant. The artistic and rhetorical contributions of 

our students made it especially so. With pride and delight, 

we conferred the title of honorary professor for the first 

time in Bucerius history. Professor Reinhard Zimmermann 

and Professor Christoph H. Seibt are an asset to the University 

and will continue to enrich our academic life on 

campus. 

Please take a look at this newsletter which contains information 

about the third annual career fair at Bucerius 

Law School, the annual Gala Ball, the inaugural lecture by 

Professor Bumke and the visit of US Consul General, 

Karen E. Johnson, and many other activities at and around 

the Law School. 

Enjoy!

ACADEMIC CEREMONIES 

Awarding of the LL.B. Degree and the First Honorary 

Professor Titles 

by Aline Kalb, Student 

With the awarding of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) on 

March 8, 2008, the 107 graduating students of the 

class of 2008 have hit the first highlight of their legal studies. 

More than 450 guests, among them Professor Manfred 

Lahnstein, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the 

ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, Markus 

Baumanns, Executive Vice President of the ZEIT-Stiftung 

and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Bucerius Law 

School, as well as Henning Voscherau, Chairman of the 

Supervisory Board of Bucerius Law School, filled the auditorium. 

The festivities began with the ceremonious entrance 

of the professors. 

The LL.B. Graduates 

Following the praise and comments of Professor Karsten 

Schmidt, President of Bucerius Law School, for the Bachelor 

degree as a full academic degree and a useful basis 

for various fields of work, he stressed that Bucerius Law 

School is an „Agent of Change“ with respect to the configuration 

of the national university landscape and praised 

Bucerius as an „extraordinary pioneer“. With a wink to 

the graduates, he explained that the completion of their 

degree is an “investment which will increase in value.” 

With a look back at the early days at Bucerius Law School,




Mr. Baumanns praised the success of the concept of the 

institution. While ten years ago, the aim was merely finding 

a new way in the face of prolonged standard legal 

education, the school has since become an institution 

that - thanks to its students and staff - is “ambitious beyond 

the rim, and is producing excellent lawyers”. 

Professor Christoph H. Seibt, Professor Karsten Schmidt and 

Professor Reinhard Zimmermann 

Another highlight was the recognition of the first two 

Honorary Professor titles in the history of Bucerius Law 

School. Professor Reinhard Zimmermann, Director of the 

Max Planck Institute for International Private Law in Hamburg 

and Dr. Christoph H. Seibt, Partner at Freshfields 

Bruckhaus Deringer, were recognized for their exemplary 

academic contribution and their support of the young 

University. 

The speech given by Erika Andreß, President of the „Hanseatic 

Higher State Court” (Oberlandesgericht), entitled 

„The Requirements of the Legal Careers“ introduced the 

graduates to an informative, interesting and last but not 

least amusing look at her job as a judge. It appears, she 

said, that perhaps the most indispensable attributes of a 

lawyer are humour and not taking oneself too seriously in 

order to maintain one’s sanity. 

The speech was followed by student awards. Representatives 

of Montblanc awarded the prize for best Bachelor 

work to students Fabian Walla und Stephan Kuntner. For 

the fifth time, the firm Baker & McKenzie awarded the 

prize for best Seminar work – which this year went to 

Maike Lensch. In conclusion, Frédéric Schneider intoned 

that the receipt of their diplomas is an important milestone 

in the path to becoming a lawyer. Photos of the 

event can be seen at www.bucerius-event.de 

IALS CONFERENCE HELD AT BLS 

From April 10 through April 12, the International Association 

of Law Schools (IALS) conducted its conference 

on “The Law of International Business Transactions: 

A Global Perspective” at the Bucerius Law School. During 

the conference, co-funded in part by the ZEIT Stiftung 

Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius and the Wang Family Foundation, 

some 100 speakers and delegates from 30 countries 

discussed topics including Globalization and Its Impact on 

International Business, Regulation of International Business 

Transactions, Trends in Global Business, and Beyond 

Lecturing: Other Methods of Teaching International Business 

Transactions. Speakers, including IALS President 

Carl Monk, came from a wide variety of international 

organizations and academic institutions, including the 

World Trade Organization, World Bank, Hamburg World 

Economic Institute, Tsinghua University (Beijing), Stellenbosch 

University (South Africa), and many others. From 

Bucerius Law School, Professor Karsten Thorn spoke 

about the Summer Law Institute in Soochow, China, while 

Professor Clifford Larsen, UBS Professor of Law and Dean 

of the Bucerius/WHU Master of Law and Business Program, 

moderated panel discussions and considered the 

concept of pairing law and business studies. Bucerius 

Law School is proud to have hosted this, only the secondever 

IALS Conference and the first devoted to a specific 

subject area. 

IALS is a non-profit organization with a membership of 

educational institutions, associations, and legal educators 

from around the world. Its members are committed to 

the proposition that the quality of legal education in any




society is improved when students learn about other 

cultures and legal systems and the diverse approaches 

employed in those systems to solving legal problems. 

IALS is the only organization of its kind that exists on a 

worldwide level. 

THE NEGOTIATION CHALLENGE 

MLB-Students successful 

The Negotiation Challenge is an international negotiation 

competition which was hosted by the HHL Graduate 

School of Management in Leipzig from April 4 to 6, 

2008. Ten teams from around the world were admitted, 

including three US universities 

(Harvard Law School, UC Hastings and Dartmouth College) 

as well as teams from India, Spain, France and the UK. 

After three rounds of negotiations (which then led to the 

final round), the MLB team had fallen one point short of 

Harvard Law School and UC Hastings on the overall ranking. 

This meant that Harvard Law School and UC Hastings 

were the finalists against HHL who ended at the top of 

the list after the three rounds. The MLB team secured the 

third place overall whilst Harvard and UC Hastings beat 

HHL in the final round. 

Congratulations to (from left to right) Axel Moeller, Lennart 

Kähling and Fernando de Almeida! 

THIRD GRADUATES FAIR HELD 

Interviews Galore with Impressive Potential 

Employers 

by Annette Bärwinkel, Leiterin Career Office 

Career planning does not begin at the end of one’s 

studies. This was the mantra of the participants of 

the third annual career fair hosted by the Bucerius Alumni 

Association and the Career Office March 5, 2008. The 

hosts were pleased by the overwhelming interest and 

participation of supporters, students and graduates. 

Potential employees and graduates took the opportunity 

to establish contacts and secure informational interviews 

through the online career network of the Alumni Association. 

400 students seeking internships and jobs took part 

in the interviews held in designated spaces on campus. 

Graduates from the entering classes of 2000 and 2001 

were on hand to provide advice on landing the first “real” 

job as an associate, trainee or project director. In both 

tents where the fair was being held, as well as the University 

foyer, students from all entering classes visited 

representatives from more than 30 firms who support 

Bucerius Law School. Students agreed that the fair was a 

tremendous opportunity to access valuable professional 

resources. In fact, as one walked by, one could hear the 

often-repeated phrase, “I would love to be there next 

year.”




WE HAD A BALL! 

The Annual Law School Gala 

by Lola Nick, Student 

March 8, 2008 was the date: students, professors 

and employees celebrated with family and friends 

as well as supporters and sponsors of the Bucerius Law 

School at the annual University Ball. 

As in previous years, the event took place at the 

Kempinksi Hotel Atlantic on the Alster. Over 800 guests 

got decked out in their finest evening wear and waltzed 

and boogied the night away at the sold-out event. 

Organizers Alexandra Nautsch, Eva Fischbach, Inga Ruck 

and Moritz Hundhausen (entering class of 2006) greeted 

the guests and invited them to sit down to a lovely dinner. 

With a little sustenance, the group then proceeded to the 

ballroom to dance to live music. For those whose feet 

needed a brief respite, the piano bar next door offered a 

place to sit and take in the Alster view. 

Formal waltzes dominated the early part of the evening 

until midnight, when a DJ took over and inspired the 

crowd with his electric spinning until the wee hours of 

the morning. 

A special thanks once again goes out to the organizers 

who put in months of hard work above and beyond their 

studies to make sure a good time was had by all –thank 

you! 

ACADEMICS AND RESEARCH 

IMAGES OF MANKIND IN LAW 

Christian Bumke held Inaugural Lecture 

by Hauke Schüler, Academics 

Over 100 guests were invited to the Bucerius Law 

School auditorium on February 22 to hear Professor 

Christian Bumke, Commerzbank Chair of the Fundamentals 

of Law, speak about “Images of Mankind in Law”. 

Christian Bumke laid out various approaches to the image 

of humanity within judicial philosophy, conceptualizing its 

layers from behavioural patterns to idealistic appeals. 

Hence, Mr. Bumke managed to look at the human individuality 

rather than at its dissolution in the plurality of 

images of mankind. 

Following the lecture, Christian Bumke and his wife 

Katharina Harms invited the audience to a lively and jovial 

reception. If his inaugural address is any indication, we may 

expect from Mr. Bumke not only eloquent contributions to 

the dogmatics and theories of law, but also many works 

regarding philosophic history and law critique.

THE PRIVATIZATION MANDATE 

Seventh Hengeler Mueller Library Lecture 

by Jonas Asmelash, Resource Development 

On March 4, 2008, an audience gathered for the seventh 

annual Hengeler Mueller Library Lecture, taking 

place for the first time in the Oval Auditorium of the new 

Library at the Bucerius Center for Graduate Studies – 

Deutsche Bank Hall. The theme of the evening was „The 

Privatization Mandate: Deutsche Bahn (German Rail) and 

the Danish Transportation Ministry Sell Scandlines AG.“ 

Viola Sailer und Hans-Jörg Ziegenhain, both partners in 

the Munich office of Hengeler Mueller, gave a highly inspiring 

lecture about the process of an international business 

transfer from the planning stage through to the 

closing, using the real-world example of the Scandlines 

company sale. 

The particularities of the final deal were the result of the 

fact that the German and Danish states ultimately stand 

behind Scandlines AG. European legal specifications such 

as government assistance law, the equity principle and 

transparency are fundamentals in such deals. 

Particularly insightful for the audience was to hear once 

again the importance of legal counsel in a deal requiring 

relevant understanding of issues pertaining to tax and 

business analysis, and involving multiple players, from 

investment bankers, law firms, accountants and tax advisors. 

Following the engaging presentation, refreshments 

were served and the discussion continued in an informal 

setting. 

LABOR LAW GUEST LECTURE 

Focusing on Non-Standard Labour Law 

by Nathalie Putterer, Academics 

Opening the new year, the first lecture in the Labour 

Law Guest Lecture Series dealt with Germany´s two 

largest employers – the Church and the State, both of 

which lay claim to non-standard labour law. Following the 

invitation of Professor Matthias Jacobs, Professor for Civil 

and Labour Law, Albrecht Nehls spoke about labour law 

within the Church on February 19, 2008. On February 28, 

2008, Klaus Pawlak of law firm Ruge and Krömer in Hamburg, 

then gave a thorough overlook of employment opportunities 

in the public service sector. 

Current Questions about Tariffs 2008 

by Jörg Noltin, Academics 

Given the current issues of minimum wages in the 

postal sector and the strikes by German train conductors, 

Martin Diller of donor law firm Gleiss Lutz gave 

yet another insightful lecture on labour law. Upon invitation 

from Matthias Jacobs, he spoke about latest developments 

in the field of tariff law on March 4, 2008.




COMPLETED DISSERTATIONS 

Between Constitutional and Inheritance Law 

On January 24, 2008, Christoph Mönig successfully defended 

his doctoral thesis on agrarian inheritance law. His 

dissertation was overseen by Prof. Pünder, Chair of Public 

Law, Administrative Law and Comparative Law. 

Regarding International Tax Law 

On February 18, 2008, Christian Pitzal completed his 

dissertation on international tax law, overseen by Prof. 

Gerrit Frotscher from the International Tax Institute of 

Hamburg University. Prof. Frotscher took over for Professor 

Rainer Walz, who passed away unexpectedly in the 

summer of 2006. The main focus of the dissertation was 

the various effects of international double taxation. 

EVENTS 

PODIUM DISCUSSION 

The Roll of Private Universities 

by Frauke Hamann, ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius 

The theme of the first broadcast of the university quartet, 

live from Bucerius Law School, the first of four 

scheduled for 2008, fit the location of the event perfectly: 

„Private Universities – Serious Competition for Public 

Universities?“ Among the participants were four university 

professors, invited by German Radio Deutschlandfunk, 

manager magazine and the ZEIT Foundation. Special 

guest was Professor Joachim Treusch, president of the 

private school, Jacobs University Bremen. 

In total, there are 71 private universities in Germany, 

accounting for three percent of all enrolled students. 

“Going bankrupt is a real possibility, and that is a power- 

ful motivator,” said Treusch. Jacobs University must be 

ambitious and needs to double its third-party funds in the 

next five years. Professor Wolfgang Herrmann added that 

private universities were „important impulse-givers“, 

giving public universities many incentives – from directly 

choosing its students to study fees. 

Prof. Dieter Lenzen, Free University Berlin, noted that not 

all faculties are suitable for privatization. Furthermore, 

Germany is lacking a culture of donating in large 

amounts. The FU alone would need a sum of 15 billion 

euros to fully function. Bucerius Law School´s situation 

was unique, he added, as it’s funding is buffered by the 

ZEIT-Foundation. Prof. Karsten Schmidt then layed out the 

particularities of Bucerius Law School. 

Left to right: Michael Kröher (manager magazin), Professor 

Wolfgang Herrmann, Professor Jürgen Hesselbach, Christian 

Floto (Deutschlandfunk), Professor Joachim Treusch (hidden), 

Professor Dieter Lenzen 

The essence of the discussion was that without doubt 

private schools have added to a sense of competition. A 

competition, said Braunschweig Technical University’s 

Jürgen Hesselbach, that was „valuable, but which should 

not cover up the problems of some private universities, 

as seen at the University Witten-Herdecke, where student 

fees are going to be drastically increased.“ 

The next university quartet will take place on April 25, 

2008, at 7.15 p.m. at Bucerius Law School, and will focus 

on the rising problem of school drop outs.




SCHLUTIUS SUPPORTER’S CONCERT 

In Bucerius Auditorium 

by Jonas Asmelash, Resource Development 

On February 21, 2008, the Bucerius Law School auditorium 

witnessed the fifth edition of the law firm SES 

Schlutius Eulitz Schrader´s concert event, sponsoring 

musical activity on campus. About 300 friends, clients, 

students and members of the school enjoyed classical 

pieces by Melchior Franck, Händel, Mozart, as well as 

more contemporary music from George Gershwin and 

1930´s swing. Without doubt, the highlight of the evening 

was the ambitious rendering of Franz Liszt´s Mephisto- 

Waltz Nr.1, performed by student Eva Maria Hoyler (Entering 

Class of 2005). After the concert, Christian von Bitter, 

lawyer and partner at SES, thanked the students wholeheartedly 

for finding the time to partake in extracurricular 

musical activities, despite the school’s rigorous curriculum. 

SES sponsors and supports the music scene on campus, 

particularly the chamber orchestra. In return, the students 

and alumni gave their traditional concert under the 

direction of Helmut Tschache, a humorous and engaging 

host. 

HOSTING THE US CONSUL GENERAL 

Karen Johnson visits Bucerius Law School 

by Birte Gall, Director. Clifford Chance International Office 

The amiable relationship between Bucerius Law 

School and renown law schools in the US was reflected 

in the visit of the US Consul General, Karen Johnson, 

on March 7, 2008. The Consul took time in the morning 

to tour the campus and learn more about the concept 

of Bucerius Law School und our numerous international 

programs. During an hour-long conversation with LL.B. 

and MLB students, she discussed the different student 

issues in Germany and the US and the advantages and 

disadvantages to studying in the two different countries. 

Both German and American students have displayed 

great interest in the opportunity to study in each other’s 

homelands. While each year 50 students are sent from 

Bucerius to study in the US, 60 American students come 

to Hamburg each fall to participate in our exchange program.

Maite Anna Bäurle, Bucerius/WHU Master of Law and Business Program 

Embassies and consulates often serve as contact 

points for foreigners, who would like to get to know 

better the academic opportunities in Germany, or a highly 

renowned, English-speaking post-graduate program. 

For this reason, Professor Clifford Larsen, Dean of the 

Bucerius/WHU Master of Law and Business Program and 

UBS Professor of Law, invited consuls and representatives 

of international associations to attend a presentation on 

the one-year Master program on Thursday March 13, 

2008. The dinner that followed provided the opportunity 

to discuss ideas and answer questions in an informal 

atmosphere. Other interested parties are also warmly 

welcomed to contact the University to learn more about 

our Masters program or go to our website 

www.bucerius.whu.edu. 

LECTURE 

Independent Kosovo 

o 

by Myriam Lemke, Academics 

n February 28, 2008 Marc Weller, Director of the 

European 

Center for Minority Issues, lectured Bucerius 

students on the youngest declaration of independence 

in Europe – Kosovo. The expert in minority law was 

invited by Professor Doris König, Chair of Public Law, 

General Administrative Law, and International and European 

Law. Weller explained the decisive legal and political 

questions calling upon his extensive wealth of knowledge 

of the Kosovo conflict. 

Weller’s lecture displayed once again that international 

law principles such as the right to self-determination, 

humanitarian intervention or the territorial principle are 

subject to a continuous development process and must 

be taken in context of the political reality. Weller was very 

relaxed as he took questions about the country’s future, 

the political costs, practical questions regarding passports 

and the effects of the media coverage. It was a very 

informative evening after which the audience walked 

away with a deeper understanding of the Kosovo question. 

JANSSEN LIBRARY 

Opening in the Blankenese Goßlerhaus 

On Sunday, March 9, 2008, a further addition to the 

Goßlerhaus in Blankenese opened: the Janssen- 

Bibliothek. Horst Janssen (1929-1995) was a well-known 

designer and graphic artist of the post-war period. Less 

know is that Jansen was also a book collector and publisher. 

Several out-of-print or rare publications from and 

through Janssen, as well as some of his personal docu-




ments were preserved and archived. The library would 

like to offer collectors and visitors to the Goßlerhaus the 

opportunity to check out the collection or browse through 

selected manuscripts necessary for their research. 

STUDIUM GENERALE 

MIGRATION AS A CHANCE 

Rita Süssmuth speaks 

by Mathias Schudlo, Student 

On February 20, 2008, Professor Rita Süssmuth, former 

Federal Minister and Speaker of the House, 

spoke at an event organized by the Studium Generale and 

the Christian Democratic Student Organization (RCDS) 

about migration as a challenge and opportunity for our 

society. 

In the adjacent photo, from left to right: Hariolf Wenzler, CEO 

Bucerius Law School, Mathias Schudlo, Dr. Rita Süssmuth and 

Karsten Schmidt, President of Bucerius Law School 

Süssmuth advocated for the acceptance of the fact that 

Germany is an immigration country. Despite reform of 

immigration laws, and although Germany is dependent on 

immigration – if it wants to buffer the effects of demographic 

change –, legal hurdles remain too high, she said. 

PROMOTING CULTURE 

Talk at TaylorWessing 

by Mathis Kreyer, Student 

On March 12, Bucerius students gathered for a lecture at 

TaylorWessing law firm in the “Hafen City” in the Hamburg 

harbor. The draw: lecturer Marc Schwieger. Mr. 

Schwieger is a partner, international Creative Director, 

and CEO at Scholz & Friends NeuMarkt. In discussion with 

Andreas Meissner, partner at TaylorWessing, and Hariolf 

Wenzler, CEO Bucerius Law School, Schwieger fielded 

questions on the topic “How does one promote cultural 

events?” 

Left to right: Andreas Meissner, Marc Schwieger, Maja Stadler- 

Euler, Hariolf Wenzler 

The promotion expert, who advises Hamburg’s Senator 

for Culture, Karin von Welck, described cultural promotion 

as a niche with a great deal of creative freedom. This, and 

the self-concept of the promoter, part of a “creative 

class”, explains the willingness to take on such projects, 

despite lower salaries or „pro bono“ advertisements for 

culture. Of particular interest to students were taboos 

such as the shortcomings of advertising and the future of 

the advertising industry in the age of the internet.




AFRICAN COLLECTION 

Art with TaylorWessing 

by Anna-Kristin Edler, Student 

By invitation from Maja Stadler-Euler of TaylorWessing 

law firm, Bucerius Law Students had the opportunity to 

take in the private Africa collection of journalist Gunter 

Péus on February 27, 2008. 

The collection contains a broad spectrum of African art 

from the end of the Colonial period until 2000. Painted 

shields, oil paintings and smooth wooden figurines from 

Tanzania are included in the exhibit. Internationally recognized 

artists, such as Twin Seven Seven, were on display. 

Just recently, President Horst Köhler also paid a visit 

to the impressive collection, one of the most important of 

its kind worldwide.

game-day: the chair of Professor Matthias Jacobs (Civil 

Law, Labour Law and Civil Action Law) pitted against the 

chair of Professor Rüdiger Veil (Civil Law and German and 

International Trade Law). After a victory for the labour law 

side last spring, and a draw last summer, it was the trade 

law-team who left the field victorious. After two 35minute 

halftimes, the won 8:5, thus levelling the score, 

and leading to a joyous celebration, during which plans 

were made for the next legendary clash.
