Main areas of activity

Due to her own experience with the legal state exams, Auer was committed to improving the preparation of students for the legal state examinations as the head of the examination repetitions at the LMU in Munich.

In terms of content, she worked out a legal sociological focus on the dogmatics of private law. She is concerned with the scientific penetration of the role of the individual in today's technically shaped society determined by data, which is perceived as specifically continental European.
