Act as a criminal lawyer

Kleinschrod was considered to be an excellent, impartial and benevolent criminal lawyer who tried to humanize criminal law and protect human rights . He had received his first public commission in the field of criminal law in Bamberg in 1792. In 1802 he was therefore commissioned to draft an embarrassing code of law for the Palatinate-Bavarian states, which should improve the Codex juris bavarici criminalis of 1751. Eventually, however, the design by Paul Johann Anselm von Feuerbach was implemented. However, his expertise remained known and in 1813 he was given the task of revising Austrian criminal law .

In addition, Kleinschrod worked in various writings and from 1798 as co-editor of the archive for criminal law .
