Now in its fourth edition, the Wieczorek/Schutze legal commentary is a virtual institution in the field of civil procedure. This fourteen-volume guide once again sets the standard for legal reference works. Based on solid legal scholarship, it comprehensively considers practical requirements and needs in relation to civil procedure. The authorial team, which is composed of 33 legal scholars and practitioners - including several new younger members - ensures that the commentary remains true to its rich traditions, but at the same time is up-to-date for current and future needs. In addition to German civil procedure, the commentary addresses relevant supplementary laws in Germany (e.g. EGZPO, GVG, KapMuG, and MediationsG), as well as European and international civil procedure. The commentary also takes into consideration relevant legal changes as well as the newest developments in case law and legal teaching. Here you find an overview of all fourteen volumes. Take a closer look at the extract of volume 12 1067-1109; Internationales Zivilprozessrecht; Rechtsquellen und Materialien.
