Life

1974 Haas was in Heidelberg with a thesis on civil service pay and employee compensation: a study on the salary growth in the public sector doctorate .

Judge in administrative jurisdiction

In 1977 she joined the judicial service of Lower Saxony as a judge at the Braunschweig Administrative Court . While working at the Administrative Court was made for ten months a delegation to the local government of Wolfsburg . From 1982 to 1986 she was seconded to the Federal Constitutional Court as a research assistant. From 1986 to 1990 she was a judge at the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court . During this time, however, as a result of a further delegation from 1987 to 1990, she was head of division in the Lower Saxony State Chancellery. From 1990 to 1994 Haas was a judge at the Federal Administrative Court.

Judge at the Federal Constitutional Court

From September 14, 1994 she was a member of the first senate of the Federal Constitutional Court. She was the first woman to be elected judge of the Federal Constitutional Court at the suggestion of the CDU . The twelve-year term of office ended on October 2, 2006. Wilhelm Schluckebier succeeded her as judge of the Federal Constitutional Court.

Within the first Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court, she was responsible for cases in the field of tax law - as long as it did not concern income tax -, municipal tax law , development law , building law , land law , expropriation law , real estate law, urban development and specialist planning law with the exception of public environmental protection law , spatial planning law, nature and landscape protection law, urban reallocation and border adjustment law and land consolidation law.

As rapporteur, she was involved in the following proceedings, among others: "Building land reallocation" decision of May 22, 2001 (Az. 1 BvR 1512/97), "Second home tax" decision of October 11, 2005 (Az. 1 BvR 1232/00). She gave a dissenting special vote on ten decisions . Among other things, she voted differently to the “ Crucifix Decision ” of May 16, 1995 (Az. 1 BvR 1087/91) and to the decision “ Soldiers are murderers ” of October 10, 1995 (Az. 1 BvR 1476/91 and others). Haas also voted against the majority of the Senate in the ruling on the constitutionality of the registered civil partnership, i.e. rejecting the law on the registered civil partnership as violating the Basic Law (Az. 1 BvF 1/01, 1 BvF 2/01).

With her departure, the First Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court became the so-called "Snow White Senate", since after her departure it only had one woman, Judge Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt , but seven men. This led to a debate as to whether women were still disadvantaged in the judicial service.

Teaching

Since 2002 she has been teaching as an honorary professor at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen .
