Remo Caponi, born in Cortona (Arezzo, Italy) in 1960, serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Cologne's Faculty of Law while simultaneously holding a position as a judge at the Italian Supreme Court (Corte di cassazione). His distinguished academic and judicial career includes being a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, a member of the Presidium of the International Association of Procedural Law, and a founding member of the European Law Institute.
Professor Caponi's scholarly work focuses primarily on civil procedure, comparative civil procedure, European law, and the intersection of legal systems with social theory. His research examines how civil procedure functions within different political and economic contexts, particularly analyzing the relationship between judicial systems and social conflict. Recent publications explore the impact of artificial intelligence on legal language and procedure, European civil procedure models, and the philosophical dimensions of legal formalism.
His publications reveal a consistent focus on the evolving nature of civil justice systems in Europe, with particular attention to the tension between national legal traditions and emerging European harmonization efforts. Caponi's work often bridges theoretical legal scholarship with practical judicial concerns, reflecting his dual professional identity as both academic and sitting judge.
Among his notable achievements are significant contributions to the European Model Rules on Civil Procedure developed by the European Law Institute and UNIDROIT. His scholarship demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of both Italian civil procedure and its relationship to broader European legal developments.
Professor Caponi actively participates in international legal discourse, regularly presenting at academic conferences and contributing to scholarly journals across Europe. His work has established him as a leading voice in comparative civil procedure, particularly regarding the adaptation of traditional civil law systems to contemporary challenges.
