The Student Journal of Law Heidelberg ( StudZR ) is a company incorporated in 2004, making it the oldest magazine published by students of law in Germany. The publisher of the print editions available throughout Germany is CF Müller Verlag . The StudZR is available in the library of the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe as well as in all relevant legal university libraries. Since 2014, the journal has been divided into the StudZR Education, which appears in print, and the StudZR Wissenschaft Online (WissOn), which appears as an online edition.

History of origin

StudZR was founded in 2004 by Nicolas Nohlen , who, as a law student at the University of Heidelberg at the time , came across the American law reviews / journals as part of a seminar paper . Following the example of this, the first edition was published in April 2004. The first edition already counted more than 600 issues. The StudZR was followed by similar projects at numerous other German-speaking faculties.

In July 2014 the StudZR celebrated its tenth anniversary with a symposium under the title "Studies, Science & Practice" under the patronage of the Baden-Württemberg Minister for Science, Research and Art Theresia Bauer . The participants and speakers included a. Peter Hommelhoff , Thomas Lobinger and Ute Mager .

Format and content

Up to and including 2013, the editions included not only a classic essay, but also methodological contributions, a case law analysis of classic and current supreme court decisions and book reviews.

After a conceptual realignment, there have now been two editions with different content since 2014. On the one hand, the StudZR training, which is published every six months, continues the tradition of the print version available in stores and only offers study-relevant content in the form of case solutions, essays on case processing techniques, expert reviews and reviews of current textbooks. On the other hand, the StudZR Wissenschaft Online ( WissOn ), which can be accessed free of charge on the official website, focuses on classic legal essays, case law analyzes and reviews of specialist literature. It too appears several times a year.

An online blog has also been part of the editorial offer since 2012 .

Editing, organization and association

The editorial staff , which currently comprises around 50 law students in all semesters, takes on the entire editing process , from acquiring articles, looking after authors, contacting the publisher, financing and distributing the magazine.

Furthermore, former and current editors (including the founding editor Nicholas Nohlen ), as well as friends and supporters, organize and get involved in the associated non-profit association Studentische Zeitschrift für Rechtswissenschaft Heidelberg e. V.

Advisory board and authors

The editorial team is supported by a scientific advisory board that decides on the final publication of an article. The advisory board is made up of professors from Heidelberg University and well-known scientists from other German and foreign law faculties, including a. Christian Baldus , Martin Borowski , Gerhard Dannecker , Dieter Dölling , Bernd Grzeszick , Burkhard Hess , Wolfgang Kahl , Stephan Kirste , Hanno Kube , Thomas Lobinger , Ute Mager , Andreas Piekenbrock , Markus Stoffels , Christoph Teichmann and Marc-Philippe Weller .

The StudZR authorship includes, for example, Paul Kirchhof , a judge at the Federal Constitutional Court. D., and Juliane Kokott , Advocate General at the ECJ .

Scientific relevance

The StudZR is quoted in numerous (standard) comments ( Staudinger BGB, Münchner BGB, Leipziger StGB, Maunz / Dürig on the Basic Law, etc.), in specialist journals, in training literature and by case law.
