For a solid foundation in civil law! Content and concept: This volume covers the entire General Part of the German Civil Code (BGB) and includes a detailed chapter on the method of case handling. Special attention is given to the connections of the General Part to the other sections of the BGB and to commercial law. Each chapter is based on a case similar to an exam scenario, explains the doctrinal relationships, and ultimately returns to the case solution. Summary chapters on the core areas of personal rights and the law of obligations serve for review and self-assessment. By linking the General Part with the other sections of civil law, there is also the possibility for advanced students to prepare for exams quickly and focused on the essentials. The new edition incorporates current legislation, case law, and literature.
