Research Focus

The research work deals with questions from the areas of Private Law (in particular Civil Law as well as the Private Law of Consumers and Tenancy Law), Civil Procedure Law (including the Law of Enforcement) and topics from different areas of Judicial Law (e.g. Law of Judicial Organization, Law of Legal Professions and Education, Judicial Law Comparison and the electronification of Procedural Law and Civil Justice).

This follows from the venia legendi of Prof. N. Fischer for German and European Private Law as well as German and European Civil Procedure Law and Judicial Law (habilitation, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt/M. December 2004, extra ordinary professorship there since February 2013).

The research approach of extra ordinary professorship combines the theory as well as practice and implicates the social sciences in jurisprudence. This research approach represents the history tradition of sciences of the (so-called) "Frankfurt School of Civil Procedure Law", which in (civil procedural) teaching and research is closely linked to the name of Gerhard Schiedermair (1906-1986, cf.  https://frankfurter-personenlexikon.de/node/7780) and his students who obtained their doctorate studies or habilitated at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University (e.g. Wolfram Müller-Freienfels, Othmar Jauernig, Gerhard Lüke, Wolfgang Münzberg, Herbert Fenn, Udo Kornblum, Peter Arens and Peter Gilles, for the latter (academic teacher of Prof. N. Fischer), see https://www.jura.uni-frankfurt.de/74691889/NewsletterWiSe1819_Web.pdf and https://web.archive.org/web/20160304142409/https://www.jura.uni-frankfurt.de/42792665/kurzvita).
