While we often tend to think of the Third Reich as a zone of
lawlessness, the Nazi dictatorship and its policies of persecution
rested on a legal foundation set in place and maintained by judges,
lawyers, and civil servants trained in the law. This volume offers
a concise and compelling account of how these intelligent and
welleducated legal professionals lent their skills and knowledge to
a system of oppression and domination. The chapters address why
German lawyers and jurists were attracted to Nazism; how their
support of the regime resulted from a combination of ideological
conviction, careerist opportunism, and legalistic selfdelusion; and
whether they were held accountable for their Nazi-era actions after
1945. This book also examines the experiences of Jewish lawyers who
fell victim to anti-Semitic measures. The volume will appeal to
scholars, students, and other readers with an interest in Nazi
Germany, the Holocaust, and the history of jurisprudence.
