Herrmann, Peter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He always thought, the entire jurisprudence is kind of rubbish \u2014 there is no right until you get it, although everything is put into paragraphs \u2026 at some stage, more by accident I studied sociology, getting excited, as it allowed me to \u2026 to become interested in economics, studied that, excited as it had been obviously reduced on the least important things, the famous two lines demand – supply \u2014 changing it to supply – demand didn\u2019t change much – that I knew from having studied political science. Great, all useless \u2026 looked after my sweetheart, had been \u201ca mother to her\u201d – ops, legal definition of a mother = father \u2026 together with her, I worked on my doctorate, finally being a doc.phil. and got \u2026, well, somebody asked me if I wanted to work for a university in Ireland – and as I did not know what to do with all the spare time of being unemployed, separated, young (well, seen from today) and not really able to make a living out of working as \u201cvoluntary observer\u201d of the European Union I said why not. When I approach the island, the aircraft moving along the coastline, across the fields \u2026 destination Cork, I said to myself: if it works out with the job or if it doesn\u2019t: it seems to be a nice enough place to live. The senior research position became reality, though without pay. Still, I have had an access card to the European Parliament = subsidised lunch \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these Europeans \u2026 so exciting, especially when you discuss the legal side of Wohlfahrtsbriefmarken, subsidised stamps, some German speciality and as such a tricky thing when it comes to law, not least competition law, subsidies \u2026 – confirmation: law is not my thing \u2014 it is admin, red tape and \u2026, yes, that is it, indeed: power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching, Lobbying in Brussels, presentations, some research projects, e.g. Social Benefit Law in France and the UK, occupational safety and health law, implementation in Ireland in farming and public services. Somebody told me, after delivering the reports: the Commission loves especially your chapters . They are more about reality, not so much on paragraphs. I moved to Rome – complicated, ended up for some time at one of the pontifical universities (the place where future popes are trained \u2013 honour as payment, even if it didn\u2019t work out to pay the bills), and they knew and accepted: I am not believing in anything, at least not anything religious \u2026 teaching, working group on social justice (Ah yes, so to say PH and the pope), and if you see somewhere  a photo, myself standing under a cross, teaching it is not faked ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At some stage: Munich, Max Planck Institute for foreign and international social law – in fact, I had been for many years correspondent for Irish Social Law, submitting reports, staying there and availing of a special legal training – Hans-F. Zacher, call him mentor, friend then later. Poland, economics, China \u2013 Economics (joined venture with a university from Wales, continuing a kind of opium war until these days, asking me to teach the worst of economics that one can imagine; Hangzhou in China: social administration (that is how they call social policy); Munich again if I remember correctly: law \u2026 and being increasingly pushed into this question of law – power – and the powerless being of ordinary people \u2026 a letter, well email or WeChat message: would you like .. we are looking for a foreign senior expert \u2026 We? \u2026 Human Rights Centre at the Law School  Central South University \u2026 sure, just hanging around \u2026 and of course: I am senior (in the meantime even retired), foreign (perhaps even more than others, as I worked often together with other foreigners; and I had been \u201cforeigner in several countries\u201d\u2026 well, why does expert really mean …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, that: hanging around, is what I did most of the time during my life \u2026 it is called precarious employment \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is where I am now: a real law prof at a law school \u2026 and my assistant, lawyer to be, occasionally says, after a chat: I like your lessons in philosophy. \u2013 Rings a bell, I loved the \u201cphilosophical lunches\u201d with Zacher, usually in the Amalienstrasse, more or less opposite of no 33, a memorial plate, only visible for me: In this restaurant HFZ and PH \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, when Feilim asked me to write a contribution \u2026 could I say no? A first version had been turned down: \u201chighly interesting \u2014 but too difficult \u2026\u201d perhaps I am actually more lawyer than I think: abstract thinking, while knowing: law, any kind of it, is only really relevant in real life, something politicians , judges, teachers have to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But understanding always goes stray until it firmly arrives \u2026 I remember Julie, we have been 4 weeks (= 16 hours) or so into the semester \u2013 she turned to Brona: \u201cactually yesterday evening .. I suddenly understood what he wants to say; and it really makes sense, much more than the usual \u201ceasy to get\u201d stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
