Preferred term

Theodor Geiger  

Definition

  • Hardly known in the English-speaking world, Theodor Geiger is, at least in Germany, Italy, and Spain, one of the classic figures of sociology of law.He shares the experience of exile with some of the other classic writers, and thereby the look at national law “from the outside.”Born in Munich, Geiger studied law but never went on to practice it. Instead, he started to work in the field of adult education. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Geiger, Theodor (1891–1952)]
