Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The Historical Jewish Law Moot Court aims to introduce participants to Jewish law as it was practiced in the early modern period. The focus is on the application of Jewish law under concrete historical conditions rather than on Jewish law as a timeless normative system, on "law in action" rather than on "law in the books". In 2016 a case from the 18th century, where guardians were tried for the embezzlement of the property of an orphan before the Rabbinical Court of Frankfurt-on-Main provided the background for the Historical Jewish Law Moot Court. In 2017 and 2018 cases adjudicated by the Rabbinic Tribunal of Prague, arguably the most important Jewish legal forum both in the Western Ashkenazic world and in the Holy Roman Empire, will serve as a point of reference for the Historical Jewish Law Moot Court.
