German legal day

The German Lawyers' Day was founded as an association in Berlin in 1860. Since then he has been a guest in a different city every two years, interrupted only by the First World War, the time of National Socialism and Corona pandemic. The congress offers lawyers of all professional groups, but also interested people of non -lawyers, a discussion forum for current legal policy issues. In the run -up to legislative proceedings, law practitioners can bring their expertise. The legal day not only takes up topics that are on the political agenda anyway, but also shows the legislator as an independent mouthpiece of all lawyers the reform requirement they recognized. At the end of the discussions there are recommendations that the legal day decides with a majority. Again and again the legislator takes up these recommendations. A prominent example is the big reform of the Civil Code for the turn of the year, which was largely prepared during the 60th German Lawy Day in Münster.
