The Wieczorek/Schutze commentary covers German law of Civil Procedure (ZPO). The third edition comprises 13 volumes plus an index volume and includes 12,800 pages of detailed and comprehensive information on the law of civil procedure. Alongside the ZPO and EGZPO (Introductory Law to the Law of Civil Procedure) the international Law of Civil Procedure, including the new 11th book of the ZPO, as well as Judicature Law and its introductory law are covered. Alongside questions of jurisdiction the commentaries particularly consider service in the EU member states of judicial and extrajudicial documents and the European Law of Civil Procedure. The commentary is tailored to meet the demands and requirements of civil law practitioners. The team of authors includes judges, lawyers and professors. Twelve volumes of the third edition have so far been published. The edition will be completed mid-2009.

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.
