DESCRIPTION:In my doctoral thesis\, I am inquiring into methodical problem
 s of legal transplants: With what problems may legislators be confronted w
 hen borrowing law from another jurisdiction? How can comparative law help 
 legislators to avoid negative impacts?\nThe main argument of my dissertati
 on project is that the studies on legal transplants needs a problem-orient
 ed approach by using typologies. Therefore\, the thesis attempts to identi
 fy and categorise problem areas in the implementation process of legal tra
 nsplants and set the groundwork for a legal transplants typology based on 
 those categories. In order to illustrate those problem areas\, my thesis u
 ses three legal transplants from the past: the reception of German propert
 y law by Post-Soviet Estonia\; the reception of the Swiss Civil Code by Po
 st-Ottoman Turkey\; the imposition of a US-model constitution on post-war 
 Japan by the Allies. As a next step I attempt to develop some suggestions 
 and strategies that may help lawmakers to avoid the identified problems. F
 inally\, the thesis deals with the question of how we can identify a stand
 ard to evaluate the success of legal transplants.\nAfter the presentation 
 of those concepts\, I would like to critically discuss with you my approac
 h in general with a close attention to my work on typologies. Finally\, I 
 hope to talk about potential methods that can help comparative lawyers to 
 realise a problem-oriented legal transplants research.\nSpeakers:\nMaximil
