Gerardo Brogginis Lehre vom Einfluss der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit auf die Entstehung des Zivilprozesses

In 1957, guided by his mentor Wolfgang Kunkel at Heidelberg, Gerardo Broggini published his groundbreaking scientific thesis titled 'Iudex arbiterve: Prolegomena zum Officium des römischen Privatrichters'. This influential work, hailed by Antonio Burdese for introducing "new ferments of discussion on the debated and fascinating problems of the origins and historical evolution of the Roman private process prior to the imperial age," is a pivotal contribution to Romanist scholarship. This review examines the core concepts presented by Broggini, along with the responses from both contemporary and modern scholars, providing an in-depth exploration of Gerardo Broggini's proposed theory on the impact of arbitral jurisdiction on the development of the civil trial.
