A Cosmopolitan Judge for a Cosmopolitan Era: An Essay in Honor of Carl Baudenbacher
Files
Description
Sometimes the visual images seem to capture it all. My memories of many conversations with Carl Baudenbacher are always shaped by the surroundings. A glass of wine amid the brilliant sunlight of Austin, Texas. An elegant drink at a cloistered Viennese watering hole. A sausage sandwich over an open fire in the Swiss hills. A comfortable after dinner gathering in New York. Each image differs in its national setting. But in each there is the unmistakable level of comfort and intimacy, shared among people accustomed to a world where ideas, friendships, and engagements have long ceased to honor formal borders. And so it is that a Swiss law professor, sitting as a representative of Liechtenstein, living in Luxembourg, should find himself passing on the legality of North Sea fishing arrangements, or Icelandic alcohol sales, or the introduction of vitamins and other additives to the food supply of Norway.
