On behalf of the German Council for Private International Law (Deutscher Rat für Internationales Privatrecht), the Institute has since 1965 been part of a cooperative effort publishing selected expert reports  (“Gutachten zum internationalen und ausländischen Privatrecht“ (IPG),) that have been prepared by the Institute or other academic entities for use primarily by German courts.

On behalf of the German Council of Private International Law (Deutscher Rat für Internationales Privatrecht), the Institute has since 1965 taken part in a cooperative effort producing expert reports used primarily by German judges confronted with questions regarding international or foreign private law (“Gutachten zum internationalen und ausländischen Privatrecht”, IPG). The reports are formulated primarily for courts by the Institute – coordinated by Jan Peter Schmidt – and by universities and academic institutions throughout Germany. They show the extremely broad spectrum of cases in this field and serve not only to facilitate legal practice but also to enrich scholarship in the field of conflict of laws.
