About meGeorg Miggel's litigation practice focuses predominantly on construction issues and matters in the area of professional negligence. He represents both German and international construction companies in matters before the state courts and in arbitration. In the malpractice area, Georg primarily represents insurance companies that provide coverage for attorneys and public notaries in dispute matters involving former clients. After passing the Second State Exam in Law in 1987, Georg became an associate in the Berlin office of one of the leading German law firms. He became a junior partner in 1989, and an equity partner in 1992. He went on to lead the Litigation Department for the office.
From 1984 to 1987, Georg spent his required internship at the civil and criminal courts of the Berlin administration working on cultural matters and also worked in law firms in Berlin and Lyon, France. In 2000 Georg became a civil law notary. He lives with his wife and three children in Berlin.

Hallo Georg,

angesichts der furchtbar langen Zeit, die mich das Einpflegen eines ersten "Basisumfangs" hier bei Librarything gekostet hat, würde ich gerne hier bleiben und auf eine zusätzliche Goodreads-Anmeldung verzichten.

Trifft man Dich denn fast nur bei Goodreads oder bist Du auch fleißiger Librarything-Besucher? Art und Ausmaß der hier gebotenen Web-2.0-Funktionalitäten (im Hinblick auf Kommunikation der Nutzer untereinander) sind mir allerdings noch gar nicht richtig klar ...

Beste Grüße

Alexander
Hallo Georg,

danke für den Kommentar. Nun, ein Buch von einem Großkanzleipartner, noch dazu hier aus Berlin, noch dazu eines, das so beginnt und "im Milieu" spielt, war bei mir ein Kauf aus dem Rückenmark heraus. Auch von der Haptik und Typographie her sehr schön. Habe irgendwo, glaube im Anwaltsblatt, die Werbung gesehen. Leider bin ich noch nicht weit, erst auf den ersten Seiten.

Bin übrigens selbst Großkanzleianwalt, wenn auch mit weniger Schulterstreifen :-)

His novel "Notwendige Streitgenossen" is worth reading not only for lawyers.
Wage peace with your breath.

Breathe in firemen and rubble,
breathe out whole buildings and flocks of red wing blackbirds.

Breathe in terrorists
and breathe out sleeping children and freshly mown fields.

Breathe in confusion and breathe out maple trees.

Breathe in the fallen and breathe out lifelong friendships intact.

Wage peace with your listening: hearing sirens, pray loud.

Remember your tools: flower seeds, clothes pins, clean rivers.

Make soup.

Play music, memorize the words for thank you in three languages.

Learn to knit, and make a hat.

Think of chaos as dancing raspberries,
imagine grief
as the outbreath of beauty
or the gesture of fish.

Swim for the other side.

Wage peace.

Never has the world seemed so fresh and precious:

Have a cup of tea and rejoice.

Act as if armistice has already arrived.
Celebrate today.
