»The Conciliation Judge in Labor Law« What is a judge's role in resolving disputes in court proceedings? To what extent can his nature be changed to serve the needs of dispute resolution? Taking examples from individual and collective labor law, the author illustrates the opportunities and risks that arise from the Conciliation judge. As one of the first interlinks between dispute resolution and procedural law, the Conciliation judge gives rise to questions concerning the core nature of the judiciary and its role in the legal system.
