Debatable, entertaining, headstrong - The best SPIEGEL columns by the former German federal judge

  

Thomas Fischer is one of the most brilliant and most feared commentators on German criminal justice. His case analyses, his media criticism and his knife-sharp wit are legendary. From 2019 to spring 2021, he commentated each week with great success for the SPIEGEL on the happenings in and before German courts. He frequently focussed on the conflicts between the text of the law and the sense of justice in public opinion. He has now reworked and updated his most successful and important columns. Taken together they give a debatable, intelligent and highly entertaining answer to the question of all questions: Who is in the right?
