Boris Schinkels

Boris Schinkels (* 1971 ) is a German lawyer and professor at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald .

Schinkels studied law at Bielefeld University from 1991 until he passed his first state examination in 1996 . From 1996 to 1999 and from 2000 to 2002 he was a research assistant / assistant at Thomas Pfeiffer in Bielefeld. In 2001, the 2nd state examination and doctorate followed on the subject: The distribution of the liability risk for third-party abuse of media for cashless payment transactions.

From 2001 to 2002 Schinkels completed the LL.M. -Program of the University of Cambridge as a DAAD scholarship holder . He then worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Foreign and International Private and Business Law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg until 2008 , where he completed his habilitation in 2007 on the structure of IPR norms . In his habilitation thesis, Schinkels rejects the theory of the "applicability of foreign law as foreign", which has so far prevailed in private international law, in favor of a new theoretical model based on dynamic referral ( reference to specific norms ) or delegation by way of international organ lending ( overall referral ).

After substituting professorships in Heidelberg (summer semester 2007) and Greifswald (winter semester 2007/08), he has held the professorship for civil law, international and European private law, comparative law and legal harmonization in the Baltic Sea region at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University in Greifswald since 2008 .
