"While we often tend to think of the Third Reich as a zone of lawlessness, the Nazi
dictatorship and its policies of persecution rested on a legal foundation set in place
and maintained by judges, lawyers, and civil servants trained in the law. This volume
offers a concise and compelling account of how these intelligent and well-educated
legal professionals lent their skills and knowledge to a system of oppression and
domination. The chapters address why German lawyers and jurists were attracted to
Nazism; how their support of the regime resulted from a combination of ideological
conviction, careerist opportunism, and legalistic self-delusion; and whether they
were held accountable for their Nazi-era actions after 1945. This book also examines
the experiences of Jewish lawyers who fell victim to anti-Semitic measures. The volume
will appeal to scholars, students, and other readers with an interest in Nazi Germany,
the Holocaust, and the history of jurisprudence"--Provided by publisher
