On July 2 and 3, 2009, both old and new friends of the German Law Journal (GLJ) gathered in Berlin for a symposium in celebration of the Journal's tenth anniversary. The two-day symposium, hosted in partnership with the Budesministerium der Justiz (the Federal Ministry of Justice) and the Law Faculty of the Freie Universität, brought together renowned justices, scholars and practitioners as well as law students from North America and Europe to discuss the transnationalization of legal cultures.
