The research project in question undertakes the attempt of tracing the “transfer” of legal thought, Austrian norms and maybe also “Austrian legal culture” to the United States. It does so by telling the story of three “Austrian” legal scholars, who all left their alma mater between 1933 and 1945 and continued their career in the United States - working each in one of the main fields of law (Private law, Public law, Legal Philosophy).
