Robert Cooter, 1945–2025

The German Law and Economics Association mourns the passing of Robert Cooter, one of the most distinguished, inventive, and versatile scholars in our field. He was also instrumental in fostering the development of law and economics in Germany. In the early years of our Association, Robert Cooter offered invaluable encouragement and guidance, for which we remain deeply grateful. He will be remembered as a warm, generous, and supportive colleague and friend.

A memorial note has been published by the Institute of Law and Economics at the University of Hamburg and can be found here.
