Information on university law
Information on University Law (KMK-HSchR) is a collection of court decisions relating to university law that is published by the Conference of Ministers of Education . It was published from 1978 in booklet form and from 1991 to 2004 as a loose-leaf collection . Since 2006, the publication has been carried out in an online database.
The collection emerged from a model experiment by the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Science . At the RWTH Aachen , under the direction of Friedrich Graf Stenbock-Fermor, a documentation center for university law was set up, which was supposed to electronically record German university law court decisions . In 1978 the Standing Conference took over this task and published information booklets several times a year with excerpts from the decisions. The booklets were bought by the members of the Standing Conference, courts, universities and individual subscribers. In 1991, the change to a loose-leaf collection took place under the title Information on University Law / New Series (KMK-HSchR / NF), which appeared until 2004. In total, the documentation office recorded over 23,000 judgments, of which around a tenth were published in extracts.
In 2006, the Standing Conference commissioned the European IT Academy of Law to continue the collection. Since then, a freely accessible database has been created on the Internet which, in addition to the decisions evaluated in recent years, also records current decisions in full text.
