EDITORIAL<br />
Dear Friends of <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>,<br />
Isn’t it exciting when an entire new year lies before you?<br />
Anything is possible; one looks at things with new energy<br />
and takes on new challenges. At <strong>Bucerius</strong>, we also have a<br />
lot on our plate in 2008. And as always, we want to keep<br />
you well informed about what is coming up.<br />
First and foremost, we are very pleased to announce the<br />
new <strong>Bucerius</strong> Summer Program in International Business<br />
<strong>Law</strong>, which is set to begin this summer and is open to all<br />
interested international and German students. We are<br />
also excited to see how our enlarged campus and the<br />
Goßlerhaus in Blankenese are continuously filling with<br />
events and activities. And we are looking forward to hearing<br />
from all of our former students from the first classes<br />
who are now completing their second state exam.<br />
The motto of St. Pauli football fans also rings true for us<br />
here at <strong>Bucerius</strong> in 2008: “You’ll never walk alone.” We<br />
will only achieve this year’s goals, if we know you, our<br />
friends and supporters, by our side. Knowledge in research<br />
and learning is an exchange process, a give and<br />
take, of listening and offering advice, of supporting and<br />
being supported. For this reason, in the new year, we<br />
hope to continue our regular exchange and frequent<br />
contact with you. As you will see in this issue of the January<br />
<strong>newsletter</strong>, our activities and outreach are already<br />
well underway.<br />
Yours,<br />
Professor Dr. Dres. h.c. Karsten Schmidt<br />
President<br />

NEW OFFERING:<br />
<strong>Bucerius</strong> Summer Program in International<br />
Business <strong>Law</strong><br />
As part of our expanding international program, <strong>Bucerius</strong><br />
<strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> is pleased to announce the convening<br />
of the first <strong>Bucerius</strong> Summer Program in International<br />
Business <strong>Law</strong> from July 20 – August 16, 2008. This intensive<br />
four-week English-taught program is open to all interested<br />
international and German students who have<br />
completed two years of law study. The program will offer<br />
students a better understanding of the forces shaping<br />
international business law in order to meet the increasing<br />
requirements of companies and law firms in this field. The<br />
following courses in international business law will be<br />
offered: Comparative <strong>Law</strong>, <strong>Law</strong> & Economics, International<br />
Mergers & Acquisitions, Alternative Dispute Resolution,<br />
Corporate Governance, etc. Students have to pass<br />
the final examination in each course in order to receive<br />
grades and credits. In addition to a challenging academic<br />
program, students will be invited to take part in a series<br />
of extracurricular activities in and around Hamburg.<br />
Applications will be accepted until April 30, 2008. The<br />
program is supported by Linklaters.<br />

EUROPE-CHINA SCHOOL OF LAW<br />
Hamburger Consortium wins Bid for EU-<br />
Project<br />
Under the auspices of the University of Hamburg, a<br />
Consortium affiliated with the Max Planck Institute<br />
for Foreign and International Private <strong>Law</strong> and the Buce-<br />
rius <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>, won the bid to create the “Europe-China<br />
<strong>School</strong> of <strong>Law</strong>” in Beijing with support funds from the<br />
European Union. The circle of partner universities includes<br />
numerous faculties in Madrid, Bologna, Paris and<br />
Dublin and also in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The<br />
project is ready to begin in 2008. For the academic headquarters<br />
Hamburg this is a significant step – as it will<br />
strengthen Hamburg’s competence as the China-Center<br />
in Europe.<br />
ROM I AND ROM II<br />
The <strong>Law</strong> of Applicable Contractual Obligations<br />
The European Academy of <strong>Law</strong> (ERA) in Trier and the<br />
Portuguese EU presidency-hosted conference in Lisbon<br />
from November 12-13, 2007 brought a deeper analysis<br />
of the forthcoming Rom I and II Decree, which define<br />
the law regarding contractual and non-contractual obligations.<br />
Professor Karsten Thorn held a lecture on the conflict<br />
of laws of product liability, specifically, environmental<br />
damage in the Rom II Decree. He focused on the legal<br />
framework for formulating certain laws, and showcased<br />
some of the most common difficulties in applying these<br />
norms. The ensuing lively debate clearly demonstrated<br />
that there is still a great need for further clarification,<br />
particularly on the side of consumers and industrylobbyists.<br />
The conference offered an interesting forum for<br />
discussion, as it included both the European legislative<br />
branch responsible for the new European contractual<br />
obligation law, as well as those applying it in the field:<br />
lobbyists, lawyers, judges.<br />
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS<br />
Investing in Foundations<br />
O<br />
by Gregor Roth, Academic Assistant<br />
n December 7, 2007, <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> hosted a<br />
conference on the topic “Investing in Foundations –<br />
What are the Legal Guidelines?“ an event based on an<br />
opinion published by Professor Rainer Hüttemann from

the University of Bonn and Professor Wolfgang Schön<br />
from the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property,<br />
Fiscal and Competition <strong>Law</strong>. The presentation and the<br />
following discussion were of great interest to the nearly<br />
200 participants from academia and practicing fields.<br />
From left to right: Professor Birgit Weitemeyer, Holger Benke,<br />
Jakob Nicolai und Professor Rainer Hüttemann<br />
Two lecturers, Holger Benke from the Hertie Foundation<br />
and Prof. Hüttemann, agreed in their presentations that<br />
yield-oriented investments in foundations not only were<br />
legal, but also necessary. Jakob Nikolai, from the Hamburg<br />
Foundation Inspectorate, concurred and gave insight<br />
into the workings of his authority. The following presentation<br />
by Professor Schön also focused on the legality of a<br />
diversified and yield-oriented investment strategy.<br />
Stephan Schauhoff from Bonn argued from a practioner´s<br />
point of view, saying that the lack of binding account<br />
regulations for foundations gave quite a leeway for interpretation<br />
in declaring financial losses.<br />
LABOR LAW GUEST LECTURER<br />
Tactical Thinking is Everything!<br />
by Nathalie Putterer, Academic Staff<br />
Once again, Professor Matthias Jacobs, Chair of Civil<br />
<strong>Law</strong>, Labour <strong>Law</strong> and <strong>Law</strong> of Civil Procedure, was<br />
able to recruit a practioner from the field who knows how<br />
to present current labour law issues thoroughly and in an<br />
entertaining way. On November 29, 2007, Ernst Burger,<br />
presiding judge at the LAG München, talked about the<br />
arbitration committee process.<br />
Ernst Burger<br />
In the foreground was the forced mediation of the BetrVG<br />
that serves the purpose of settling disputes between<br />
employers and the workers’ committees or unions. Burger<br />
offered an insider’s peek behind the scenes: policy<br />
and tactics are the magic words for the parties involved.<br />
Policy and strategy are also the tools of craft of Florian<br />
Weh (pictured bottom left), Chair of the Collective Bargaining<br />
Pinion, Flying Personnel for Lufthansa AG in<br />
Frankfurt am Main. On December 6, 2007, he was ready<br />
for the second time to accept an invitation from Matthias<br />
Jacobs. He spoke about the complexity of a plural tariff<br />
system and of niche unions – both scary concepts for the<br />
Deutschen Bahn (German Rail). Weh is a battle-proven

expert in the field, having negotiated settlements between<br />
Lufthansa AG, ver.di union, and the flyer’s unions<br />
Cockpit and UFO. Looking at year’s past, Lufthansa appears<br />
to have found a proven method.<br />
INTERNATIONAL LAW STUDENTS IN<br />
GENEVA<br />
by Jennifer Zumdick, Student<br />
From November 4-6, Professor Doris König, academic<br />
colleague in the Public <strong>Law</strong> faculty, and <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> students of International and European <strong>Law</strong><br />
attended a meeting of the UN-committee for Scientific,<br />
Social and Cultural Rights. To review issues related to<br />
scientific, social and cultural rights, the committee convenes<br />
twice a year in Geneva.<br />
Professor Eibe Riedel, one of committee’s 18 independent<br />
international law experts, invited the attendants. After an<br />
introductory lecture by Professor Riedel, students had the<br />
opportunity to attend the NGO submissions and the Costa<br />
Rican State Report in the Palais Wilson, as well as to visit<br />
the Museum of the International Committee of the Red<br />
Cross, the European headquarters of the United Nations<br />
and sample a typical Swiss dish - cheese fondue.<br />
ACTIVITIES<br />
ENTREPRENEURIAL LECTURE<br />
Guest Speaker Martin Willich<br />
by Roman Strecker, Foundation for the Support of <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
On November 28, the “Studium generale” and the<br />
Foundation for the Support of <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
invited Martin Willich to speak as part of the “CMS<br />
Hasche Sigle Lectures” at the University. The goal of<br />
these regular trimester lectures is to introduce students<br />
to entrepreneurs who were trained as lawyers. Willich,<br />
who was born 1945 in Thüringen and studied law in Hamburg,<br />
has been the Director of “Studio Hamburg” – the<br />
largest film and television production studio in continental<br />
Europe – for more than 20 years. An engaging speaker,<br />
Willich shared stories from his career and gave a number<br />
of examples of what enables lawyers to be successful<br />
outside the “classic” fields of law. After the debate, moderated<br />
by <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> CEO Hariolf Wenzler, Willich<br />
invited the students to visit to Studio Hamburg in the<br />
spring of 2008.<br />

burg) to an exhibit: “Small and Large Fish – Young Artists<br />
Encounter Entrepreneurs in the Hamburger Harbor”. The<br />
exhibit was part of the “Studium Generale” and is supported<br />
by the German Economic Foundation.<br />
One of the exhibiting artists explained the impressions of<br />
Hamburger businesses captured by the pieces. Afterwards,<br />
the students were invited to a reception at the law<br />
firm TaylorWessing, where they met the firm’s lawyers<br />
and enjoyed pieces of art from the Falkenberg Collection.<br />
We would like to deeply thank Maja Stadler-Euler and the<br />
students taking part in the exhibit for their efforts!<br />
ON DELINQUENTS AND MIRACLES<br />
A Lecture at TaylorWessing<br />
by Mathis Kreyer, Student<br />
Not all movers and shakers of the German economic<br />
miracle after World War II had a clean slate – that<br />
was the message conveyed by Nina Grunenberg at the<br />
“Talk at TaylorWessing”, an event of the “Studium generale”<br />
on December 5, 2007. Following the invitation of<br />
Maja Stadler-Euler, the audience listened to Grunenberg,<br />
a former deputy editor-in-chief of “Die Zeit”, read from<br />
her book “The Miracle-Men – The Network of the German<br />
Economy 1942 – 1966.”<br />
Nina Grunenberg und Maja Stadler-Euler<br />
In it, she showcases how powerful businessmen of the<br />
Third Reich continued their illustrious careers in post-war<br />
Germany. Willy H. Schlieker and Heinrich Nordhoff, for<br />
example, were two protagonists, who during WWII were<br />
known as “Albert Speer´s boys”, and proceeded to be big<br />
players in the German economy later on. Grunenberg<br />
afterwards addressed the difficulties encountered in the<br />
creation of the book.<br />
OPEN HOUSE<br />
Over 400 Guests at Goßlerhaus<br />
by Aline Kalb, Student, und Maike Lütkens, Director of <strong>Bucerius</strong> Events<br />
On December 15, 2007, over 400 guests took advantage<br />
of the “open house” and came to see the lovingly<br />
restored Goßlerhaus. Started in July 2006, the reconstruction<br />
and restoration of the new administrative<br />
center is now complete and ready to be used for cultural,<br />
academic and business activities. The decline of the<br />
stately manor in Goßlers Park provoked a response from<br />
the community and what followed was the creation of the<br />
association, “Friends of Goßlerhaus”. In 2006, a Blankenese-based<br />
patron acquired the building from the city of<br />
Hamburg, renovated and restored it according to a longterm<br />
user concept developed by <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>,<br />
and integrated it into the communal Klaus Schümann<br />
Foundation (Goßlerhaus Foundation).<br />
The new opening marked the completion of an exemplary<br />
project fuelled by ambition and love for the building.

However, restoration was not always smooth sailing.<br />
Major obstacles included the incomplete and inadequate<br />
previous restoration efforts which workers had to work<br />
around until June. Still, for architect Gerhard Gretemeier,<br />
this project was a dream come true: “As a native Blankeneser,<br />
one can only love this building.” Following his<br />
plans for this extensive reconstruction, the building has<br />
become a harmonious combination of modern functionality<br />
and historic architecture. Since October, it has hosted<br />
numerous events, academic seminars, workshops, symposiums<br />
and retreats. “At the same time, the Goßlerhaus<br />
can be rented out for private or business events,” explains<br />
Nina Schmidt, CEO of <strong>Bucerius</strong> Education GmbH<br />
(www.bucerius-event.de).<br />
An open house was the perfect way to share this special<br />
place with the public, who crooned enthusiastically about<br />
their surroundings. “It is beautiful and very light, unobtrusive<br />
and very hanseatic,” said one visitor. A standing<br />
attraction, already popular on the first day, is the “Horst<br />
Janssen Library”. Over the course of several years,<br />
Lamme Janssen, daughter of the famous Blankenese<br />
designer and artist, had collected scores of books, records<br />
and catalogues from and about her father, now on<br />
display here. The sightseeing tour was followed by a casual<br />
discussion over coffee and cake.<br />

ART IN BUSINESS<br />
Frivolous or Fabulous?<br />
C<br />
by Gernot Halbleib, Student<br />
an an artistic influence positively affect business<br />
dealings? Have we who appreciate art in business<br />
anything to do with the frivolous or fabulous debate?<br />
These and other questions were asked at the student<br />
initiative “Added Value: Art – Business – Harbour” on<br />
November 21 – part of the “Studium generale”.<br />
Panellists included Maja Stadler-Euler (Partner at Taylor-<br />
Wessing), Professor Thomas J.C. Matzen (Head of Thomas<br />
J.C. Matzen Inc. and Professor at TU Hamburg-Harburg),<br />
Sebastian Peetz (artist and graphic designer) and Norbert<br />
Schulz (of art matters, Inc.); the event was moderated by<br />
journalist Ursula Storost.<br />
Professor Thomas J.C. Matzen, Maja Stadler-Euler, Ursula<br />
Storost, Sebastian Peetz, Norbert Schulz<br />
Everybody agreed that art in business can create an enriching<br />
affect, triggering highly creative potential. Art<br />
could serve as an interactive medium. Also the passive<br />
application of art as simply “pictures on the wall” can<br />
stimulate the typical business communication process.<br />
The meeting of artistic freedom and business targets,<br />
however, is not entirely uncomplicated, needing mediators,<br />
such as curators, to coordinate companies´ activities<br />
in the field of the arts.<br />

BUCERIUS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION<br />
LEARNING TO LEARN<br />
Events for the Class of 2004<br />
by Gesa Kim Meyer, Member of the Class of 2002, <strong>Bucerius</strong> Alumni e.V.<br />
On November 15, 2007, once again, the <strong>Bucerius</strong><br />
Alumni Club organized an informational session for<br />
students starting their state exam preparations as of<br />
January 2008, i.e. the Class of 2004. The goal of this session<br />
was to introduce the examinees to various learning<br />
and preparation methods, effective time management,<br />
and sharing experiences made by students who “have<br />
been there”. Passing on these experiences were Friedrich<br />
Rosenfeld, Christine Schreiber, Martin Mittermeier, Jan<br />
Penselin and Gesa Kim Meyer of the Class of 2002, and<br />
Matthias Peukert of the Class of 2000. The roughly 60<br />
students attending learned about various techniques and<br />
learning tactics such as “index card-writing”, “scriptwriting”<br />
or “coffee-shop/private-group-meetings”. Hopefully,<br />
the information conveyed will help the younger<br />
students to successfully complete their exams.<br />
STUDENT NEWS<br />
THE REMAND MAKES LEGAL FORCE!<br />
The Trial of Professor Frank Saliger<br />
by Marcus P. Lerch, Student<br />
It became quite obvious that Professor Frank Saliger,<br />
Chair of the Faculty of Criminal <strong>Law</strong> and Criminal <strong>Law</strong><br />
Proceedings, had received a call to the University of Hannover<br />
– after all, no one could miss the “Manhunt” poster<br />
declaring a “danger of flight” across campus. On November<br />
29, 2007, the “accused” could finally be “arrested” in<br />
the Heinz-Nixdorf-Auditorium. In the rapid proceeding, he<br />
received an assigned counsel, who assisted him during<br />
the following moot-court session. With good reason, the<br />
“students’ prosecutor” demanded remand to avoid<br />
Saliger´s move to the Hannover area. To no avail, as the<br />
defense presented more convincing arguments and witnesses<br />
to the <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> jury (including University<br />
CEO Hariolf Wenzler). The defense’s line of argument:<br />
<strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> and the city of Hamburg were such<br />
attractive places, with overwhelming advantages, that<br />
there could be no “danger of flight”.<br />
The event, initiated by the class of 2006, which “pushed”<br />
the boundaries of legal proceedings quite far, displayed<br />
the means to which students would regress in order to<br />
keep Professor Saliger on campus.<br />

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT II<br />
From Diagnosis to Treatment<br />
by Dr. Jo Beatrix Aschenbrenner, <strong>Bucerius</strong> Executive Education<br />
and Dr. Lars Kirchhoff, „Außergerichtliches Konfliktmanagement"<br />
T he conference “Conflict Management II” took place<br />
November 15-16, 2007 for the second time at<br />
<strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>. It saw an intense exchange<br />
between the “status quo” and the future perspective of<br />
business-related conflict management. The conference<br />
follows the 2005 initiative, “Conflict Management –
NEWSLETTER<br />
In-house News for Alumni and Friends of the <strong>Bucerius</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
January 2008 page 8<br />
Challenges for Businesses” based on the “Commercial<br />
Dispute Resolution Study”, which analyzed typical<br />
behavioural pattern of German companies in conflict<br />
management.<br />
From left to right: Ulrich Hagel (Bombardier), Jürgen Klowait<br />
(E.ON), Birgit Gantz-Rathmann (Deutsche Bahn AG), Christian<br />

Haß (Lovells).<br />
This year, <strong>Bucerius</strong> Executive Education together with<br />
Europa-University Viadrina, PricewaterhouseCoopers,<br />
Lovells and Siemens, wanted to take the findings of the<br />
first conference and build on them by examining how<br />
business can position, systematize and optimize conflict<br />
management. Concrete examples in practice about<br />
adapted provisions from representatives of well-known<br />
businesses like German Rail, E.ON, Bombardier, Audi and<br />
SAP illustrated and complemented the previous findings<br />
from 2005. The sharing of experiences between the business<br />
representatives and the dialogue with academic<br />
specialists resulted in numerous initiatives and plans,<br />
whose results will be presented at the next conference to<br />
be held in 2009.<br />
