"Thibaut und Savigny: Zum 100jährigen Gedächtnis des Kampfes um ein einheitliches bürgerliches Recht für Deutschland" by Jacques Stern delves into the pivotal clash between two influential jurists: Thibaut, who championed a codified civil law, and Savigny, who defended the organic development of legal principles.
