Thanks and Goodbye

Dear all,
we are at the end of our "Law and the Humanities" course and, I have to admit it, I'm a little bit sad. It was a pleasure to read your comments and discuss with you about so many unusual topics: some of your comments were really interesting and they made me think about a lot of issues from many different perspectives that I hadn't considered before and it is obvious that your enthusiasm was a source of great satisfaction for me. I do thank you all and I'm really sorry that I won't be able to be with you on June 9th. I would like to say goodbye with a quotation, which I think really represents our course. Well, it wasn't written by a lawyer but by one of the most famous theologians of all times (actually his father wanted him to become a lawyer...): his name was Martin Luther.

"Ein Jurist, der nicht mehr ist denn ein Jurist, ist ein arm Ding".

"A lawyer, who is no more than a lawyer, is a poor thing".
