About the work: This manual addresses the most common case scenarios encountered in the judicial practice of civil and criminal judges in a concise manner. Compared to the previous edition, the manual focuses solely on ordinary jurisdiction. It provides practical guidance for the efficient conduct of each type of proceeding. The work thoroughly illustrates the interplay between substantive and procedural law and outlines ways to resolve difficulties arising from this interconnection of material and procedural law. Additional support is provided through a wealth of examples, templates, and checklists. The focus of the work is on the civil department of the judge. Special areas of civil procedure, such as construction litigation, traffic accident litigation, medical malpractice litigation, press litigation, or insurance contract litigation, are explained in detail.
