Justice in Luritz: Experiencing Socialist Law in East Germany
As a child, Inga Markovits dreamt of stealing and reading every letter contained in a mailbox at a busy intersection of her town in order to learn what life is all about. When, decades later, working as a legal historian, she tracked down the almost complete archive of a former East German trial court, she knew that she had finally found her mailbox. Combining her work in this extraordinary archive with interviews of former plaintiffs and defenda…
The Death of Socialist Law
Before the collapse of socialism, Western comparative lawyers more or less agreed that socialist law was different from the law of capitalist legal systems. But was it different enough no longer to have a place in the new democracies of Eastern Europe? This review looks at the socialist features of pre-1989 East European law and suggests that Marxist law never existed in the first place; that the Stalinist aspects of socialist law, while not exti…
Transitions to Constitutional Democracies: The German Democratic Republic
All law reform must look for local precedents to build on. Does this claim also apply to formerly totalitarian states? Building on her research on East German legal history, the author asks whether there might be some generally applicable reasons explaining why in the German Democratic Republic the first tender shoots of a rule of law appeared before the collapse of socialism. She finds an inverse relationship between political and legal faith: a…
Justice in Lüritz
Journal Article Justice in Lüritz Get access Inga Markovits Inga Markovits 1Inga Markovits is "Friends of Jamail" Regents' Chair in Law, The University of Texas. This essay is the forerunner to a book on the rise and fall of socialist law in the GDR, reflected in the daily work of one East German trial court and in the experiences of the court's staff and its users.

Two Truths about Socialist Justice: A Comment on Kommers: [Commentary]
Talk about former socialist legal systems and their postsocialist paths to reform, and sooner or later, you will find yourself talking about historical guilt. How could one avoid it? The spectacle of judges now themselves being judged for socialist miscarriages of justice, of prosecutors now prosecuted for serving the Party more than the law, forces upon us the question of how it could happen that legal systems that had set out to create a more j…

Children of a Lesser God: GDR Lawyers in Post-Socialist Germany
In this essay, I want to investigate German vetting policies by looking at one particular subgroup of examinees: GDR lawyers. In Germany, no other former socialist elite has been submitted to so thorough an ideological cleansing process as the legal profession. After reunification, all GDR judges and prosecutors hoping to remain in office had to undergo investigations that by March 1994 had left only 9.2% of their former numbers in permanent posi…
Law And Glasnost: Some Thoughts About the Future of Judicial Review Under Socialism
As part of the dramatic reforms now sweeping through Eastern Europe, a number of socialist states have enacted new legislation enabling courts to review the legality of administrative decisionmaking. In this essay, I will speculate about the likely development of a socialist rule of law. Using examples from capitalist and socialist law, I will argue that judicial review is at odds both with the long-range ideological goals of socialist societies …

Hedgehogs or Foxes: A Review of Westen's and Schleider's Zivilrecht im Systemvergleich
