Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
The Ludwig Maximilians Universität in Munich is one of the leading research universities in Europe, with a more than 500-year-long tradition. The University is committed to the highest international standards of excellence in research and teaching. The Faculty of Law is one of the largest law faculties in Germany with an excellent reputation. Research conducted and published by the Law Faculty is highly renowned, nationally and internationally. This is evidenced by the large output of notable publications, numerous international honours, prestigious scholarships and research grants which have been awarded to faculty members, the appointment of current and former faculty members to the Federal Constitutional Court and one former member to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The Faculty is also involved in specialised collaborative research projects on the national and international level. Private International Law has a long tradition in Munich. The Institute for Comparative Law was founded already in 1916 by Ernst Rabel; today three chairs of the Institute are dedicated to research and teaching in private international law.
