Thomas M.J. Möllers (2019)

Thomas M. J. Möllers (born January 25, 1962 in Mainz) is a German legal scholar, focusing on capital market law.

Academic life

[edit]

Möllers studied law in Mainz and Dijon. He conducted research for his doctorate under Walther Hadding and his habilitation under Wolfgang Fikentscher as a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and at the European University Institute in Florence. After his habilitation on the subject of "Legal protection in environmental and liability Law"[1] at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Möllers became a full professor of civil law, commercial law, European law, international private law, and comparative law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Augsburg on 1 July 1996.[2]

Möllers has held visiting and research professorships at several universities among others in Lyon,[3] Washington, D.C.,[4] Pittsburgh,[5] North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Pepperdine, Sydney,[6] Beijing,[7] and Lanzhou.

Work

[edit]

Research– National and international

[edit]

Möllers has helped shape European capital market law with more than 150 publications.[8] Within these he has discussed topics such as the investigated economic scandals involving Volkswagen and Wirecard.[9] More recently, Möllers has been working on sustainability in capital market law and the interactions between psychology, environmental and capital market law.[10]

In 2001 Möllers’ Juristische Arbeitstechnik und wissenschaftliches Arbeiten (Legal Working Technique and Academic Work) was first published, which developed standards for the academic work of a lawyer.[11] When the plagiarism of former German Defense Minister zu Guttenberg was uncovered, these standards were being used as a guideline.[12][13] Möllers also focuses his research on legal methodology. His findings are compiled in his Juristische Methodenlehre (Legal Methods), which has been translated to English in 2020[14] and Chinese in 2022.[15]

Möllers has supervised more than 100 doctoral students, most of whom are working as lawyers or judges. His student Isabella Brosig-Hoschka has held a professorship for private commercial law and international business at Kempten University of Applied Sciences since 2022.[16] Furthermore, he was the supervisor to Philipp Maume on his tenure-track, who now holds a professorship on Corporate Governance and Capital Markets Law at the Technical University of Munich.[17]

International commitment

[edit]

Part of Möllers' international commitment is the Augsburg Summer Program.[18] This program provides German and international students with knowledge of European business law through English-language courses and exercises. Möllers' chair also organizes an exchange program with six US-American universities (George Washington University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Pepperdine University, Santa Clara University, Chicago-Kent College of Law, University of Pittsburgh) and Peking University in Beijing every winter semester.[19] These cooperations enable students to study at the respective university for one semester free of charge with the opportunity to satisfy the requirements for an LL.M. degree.

Administration

[edit]

Möllers has been Managing Director of the Center for European Legal Studies (CELOS)[20] since 1996 and spokesman of the Augsburg Center for Global Economic Law and Regulation (ACELR)[21] since 2007. He manages the Augsburg Research Center of European and Anglo-American Law (AREA)[22] and the Research Center of Innovation and Legal Studies between China and Europe (RICE)[23]. He is also a member of the advisory board of the Munich Intellectual Property Law Center (MIPLC)[24], a cooperation between the University of Augsburg, the Technical University of Munich, George Washington University and the Max Planck Society.
