Today’s Read: Alexandra Kemmerer, Juristische Kanonfragen: Andere Auffassungen nähren die Neugier (Legal Canon Questions: Other Views Feed Curiosity), July 27, 2020, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wissen/geist-soziales/juristische-kanonfragen-gegenprobe-auf-den-juristischen-kanon-16682327.html.
Today’s read is a short newspaper article written by my friend Alexandra Kemmerer, who is a Berlin-based senior fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law (located in Heidelberg). She also writes for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, which is where this article was published.
This article is in German, and it stretched me in terms of both language and substance, so I hope I get everything right AND can do it justice. I also want to use it as a springboard for some thoughts I have about how the concept of the canon affects academic librarianship.
