BOOK REVIEWS JAC K BEATSON & REINHARD ZIMMERMAN (EDS.), JURISTS UPROOTED: GERMAN-SPEAKING EMIGRE LAWYERS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY BRITAIN (Oxford and New York, Oxford University Press 2004) Reviewed by Richard M. Buxbaum* In a nicely organized volume, Justice Sir Jac k Beatson and Pro fessor Reinhard Zimmermann have edited two dozen essays (18 of them biographical) about the most important German-speaking legal scholars and lawyers who fled Nazi Germany. Like other works on emigre lawyers of this period, Beatson's and Zimmerman's effort is one of reparation, respect, and affection for it s subjects. Unlike th e existing literature, the current volume deals only with those individ uals who went to Grea t Britain. Beatson and Zimmerma n have both written substantial intro ductions. The extensive one by Zimmerman , with its origins in th e encounters between Kurt Lipstein and Zimmermann during the lat- ter's tenure as Goodhart Professor at Cambridg e in 1998-99, summa rizes the well known German historical context in which scholars of law and other disciplines fled Nazi Germany in th e 1930s. Beatson's contribution then illuminates the less well known part of th e story— the reception tha t these emigres received in Britain. Both essays
