Life

Karl Ernst was the son of Weimar Mayor Adam Ludwig Friedrich Schmid (born February 19, 1741 in Jena; † May 9, 1821 ibid.) And his wife Ernestine Sophie Auguste Jäger (born December 15, 1753 in Jena; † January 25, 1819 in Meusebach). From 1793 he completed a law degree at the University of Jena , where he was guided by his uncle Carl Christian Erhard Schmid . In 1797 he became editor of Bayreuthpolitical newspaper, which he headed until 1804. In addition, he entered the Prussian civil service, in 1799 became an ausculator and trainee lawyer in the Bayreuth government, in 1803 a criminal advisor and in 1804 a city judge in Bayreuth. After the province of Bayreuth was ceded to France, Schmid moved to Hildburghausen in 1807 as a government and consistorial councilor .

In 1809 he received a full professorship in law at the University of Jena and was awarded his doctorate in law in 1810. In 1810 he moved back to Hildburghausen as an assistant councilor, became vice-president of all regional colleges there in 1811 and in 1812 he received the title of privy councilor. From 1816 he took part in the conferences on the establishment of the joint higher appeal court and the formulation of a new court order in Jena. When this court was established in 1817, he returned to Jena, where he became a senior appeal councilor and took over an honorary professorship at the Jena University. In 1826 he became a full professor at the Faculty of Law and had given lectures on state, international, private, and English and French criminal law.

From 1826 Schmid had mainly dealt with the verdict colleges at the Jenaer Schöppenstuhl and the law faculty. In addition, he participated in the organizational tasks of the university. He was rector of the Alma Mater in the summer semesters of 1827, 1846 and the winter semesters of 1833, 1839 and 1840 . In 1829 he participated in the drafting of a new constitution for the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen and in 1840 in the drafting of a new constitution for the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen . In 1830 he received the theological and in 1852 the philosophical honorary doctorate from the University of Jena. Schmidt had written articles and reviews in the Jenaer Allgemeine Literaturzeitung , the Leipziger Literaturzeitung and the legal journal Minerva . In addition, after the death of Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus, he headed the editorial department of the magazine Hermes or the critical yearbook of literature. Schmid, who had extensive knowledge of the older German imperial constitution, as well as English and French legislation, represented the legal philosophy that law can only be reconciled on the basis of morality.
