Staatliche Juristenleitbilder von Weimar bis zur Bundesrepublik.

'The Ideal Jurist in the Light of a Changing German State': In the 'Third Reich' and the GDR, jurists were first deemed 'soldiers' of Hitler, then socialist state functionaries. The supposedly still 'independent' judge was subordinated to the state power, and the training of jurists was dedicated to the education of ideology. In the Weimar Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany however, jurists were not elevated to guarantors of the liberal constitution. The new state and its foundations left almost no trace in legal education and its reform debates.
