research

A particular research focus of Ulrich Preis is the improvement of the codification of labor law. After the reunification of Germany in 1990 he called for the all-German codification of labor law. As a member of the “German legal entity in labor law” working group, he designed a draft for the codification of employment contract law in 1992, which was presented to the German Lawyers' Association . In 2007 he - together with Martin Henssler - submitted a renewed draft for discussion of an employment contract law, which the German Society for Legislation eV awarded first prize in April 2007. The bills have received a lot of international attention, but have not been fully implemented in Germany. However, many partial regulations were adopted. The proposal to reorganize the fixed-term employment contracts (together with Thomas Dieterich ) was almost completely adopted by the German legislature (today: WissZeitVG).
