Die Neue Justiz ( NJ ), subtitled Zeitschrift für Rechtsentwicklung und Jurisprudence, is a monthly legal journal that has been documenting German legal developments and case law since 1947. One focus of the reporting is on the new federal states.
history
The New Justice appeared for the first time in January 1947 in the Soviet Zone , edited by Eugen Schiffer , and since it was founded in 1949 in the German Democratic Republic . Until 1977 it carried the addition "Journal for Law and Jurisprudence", from 1977 to 1989 the addition was "Journal for Socialist Law and Legality". The publisher was the German Justice Administration (DJV) from 1947 to 1949 , and from 1949 the Ministry of Justice of the GDR . The Supreme Court of the German Democratic Republic and the Public Prosecutor General of the GDR have also been involved in the publication since 1961 . The editors-in-chief included Wolfgang Weiß (from 1947 to 1951), Hans Nathan (1952/53), Hilde Neumann (from 1953 to 1959), Lothar Schibor (from 1959 to 1977), Gerhard Steffens and Adelhaid Brandt .
The magazine has been published by Nomos Verlag since 1990 and is published by a team of legal scholars and practitioners from the judiciary and the legal profession, including the presidents of the bar associations of the five new federal states and the Berlin Senator for Justice.
content
The NJ initially accompanied and supported the removal of civil servants and lawyers who had been burdened by National Socialism from positions of power and decision-making, especially in the judiciary, and reported on the legal dispute with the Nazi past, for example the Waldheim trials or the Globke trial , based on Soviet criminal law practice . The Soviet occupation law and the politics of the SED , however, were not the subject of the report. Rather, the SED endeavored to consolidate its claim to leadership over the new legal system and controlled the work of the NJ along with the entire press landscape. In the further course, the NJ dealt with the legal development in the GDR and the legislation that shaped it .
The reception of Federal German law with the establishment of the unification of Germany led to a renaming in 1990 to New Justice - Journal for Legal Development and Jurisprudence in the New States and a personnel and content reorientation in order to familiarize readers with the new legal status and to understand it to devote the transition situation resulting conflicting issues between the old and new legal system on the basis of the Unification Treaty. There were also reports on the reorganization of the judiciary and the coming to terms with the SED dictatorship .
Between 1990 and 1994 the monthly supplement "Basic Laws of the Federal Republic" appeared.
The focus of the journal continues to be on overview articles on legal developments in order to enable legal practitioners a scientifically sound, generalized overview of legislation, case law and literary opinions.
The edition is 1500 copies. The editorial office has been based in Freiberg since 2009 .
