Müller (1992), Hitler’s Justice: The Courts of the Third Reich

Ingo Müller. Hitler’s Justice: The Courts of the Third Reich. Cambridge, U.S.: Harvard University Press, 1992.

Hitler’s Justice: The Courts of the Third Reich aims to answer the question of why judges, lawyers, and law professors of a civilized state succumb to the lawless regime of Nazi Germany? What happened to liberalism and the rule of law under the Third Reich? How many of the legal institutions and how much of their personnel carried over to the West German state after World War II? Hitler’s Justice: The Courts of the Third Reich grapples with these and other passionately debated questions.
