Richterrecht der Arbeit - empirisch untersucht Buchkatalog

»Employment Law as Case Law - An Empirical Study« The authors examine fundamental questions of legal theory using German labour and employment law as an example. They implement methods of corpus linguistics for an empirical analysis of how employment law judges work and how they develop the semantic content of the particularly vague, heterogeneous and fragmentary regulatory framework of German employment and labour law. The authors also address related constitutional issues such as the limits of jurisprudence and separation of powers. In their view, the methodological questions and the constitutional problems are two sides of the same coin, as they both address the limits of language and legislation.
