Life

After graduating from high school in Pößneck in 1997, Schmidt began studying law at the University of Jena in 1998 , which she completed in 2003 with the first state examination in law. This was followed by studies at the University of Nottingham , which she completed in 2004 with the title of Master of Laws . After her return to Germany, she took up a position as a research assistant at Walter Bayer's Jena chair . There she received her doctorate in 2006 with summa cum laude for Dr. iur. She then did her legal clerkship in Thuringia, which ended in 2008 with the second state examination. In 2013 Schmidt completed her habilitation procedure and received the venia legendi for the subjects civil law, German and European business law, European and international private law and comparative law.
