After graduating from high school in Paderborn, Vering began studying law at the University of Bonn in the winter semester of 1850/1851 . After moving to Heidelberg University , he passed his first state examination in Koblenz in 1856. In the same year he received his doctorate in Heidelberg to become Dr. iur., a year later he completed his habilitation and from then on read as a private lecturer mainly on Roman law and canon law. In July 1862 he was appointed associate professor in Heidelberg. In the winter semester of 1875/1876, Vering followed a call to a full professorship at the newly founded Franz Joseph University in Czernowitz . In the summer semester of 1879 he moved to a full professorship at the German University in Prague , which he held until his death.
Vering gained reputation primarily through his textbooks on Roman law and canon law. The majority of his works saw several editions. His fifth edition history and pandects of Roman and present-day private law , published in 1887, as well as the third edition of the textbook of Catholic, Oriental and Protestant canon law, should be emphasized . In his works he mostly represented a church-friendly standpoint by defending the rights of the church against interference by secular princes.
