معرفی
Prof. Dr. Nils Jansen is a Professor of Civil Law at the University of Muenster, specifically affiliated with the Institute for Legal History within the Faculty of Law. His work focuses on the Department of Civil Law, with particular emphasis on Roman Law, History of Private Law, and German and European Private Law. He maintains an active research profile with numerous publications spanning legal history, jurisprudence, and comparative legal systems.
Professor Jansen's research interests center around several key areas of legal scholarship:
- Roman Law and its historical development
- History of Private Law across European legal traditions
- German and European Private Law systems and their evolution
- Legal History with a focus on the interplay between religion, politics, and law
- Doctrinal Jurisprudence and the methodology of legal science
- Comparative analysis of legal systems throughout history
His recent scholarly output demonstrates significant engagement with the historical foundations of Western legal tradition, particularly examining the relationship between law, religion, and political philosophy. Professor Jansen has produced extensive work on 16th century jurisprudence during the Humanist period, the development of soft law and informal legal authorities, and the historical evolution of private law concepts. His publications reveal a strong focus on the philosophical-theological underpinnings of legal systems and the critical function of legal history in contemporary jurisprudence. Much of his work bridges historical analysis with modern legal theory, particularly in the areas of codification processes, legal dogmatics, and the canonization of legal principles across different cultural contexts.
As a faculty member at the University of Muenster, Professor Jansen contributes to legal education within the Department of Civil Law, maintaining an office at Universitätsstraße 14-16 in room JUR 323/324. His research appears to be well-integrated within European legal scholarship networks, with publications addressing both German legal tradition and broader European private law developments. The connection to the CRIS research database interface is currently unavailable, though his complete CV and publication list are referenced as available resources.
