Bernd Justin Jütte, a PhD graduate in law from the University of Luxembourg, has received glowing reviews of his dissertation by German law professor Thomas Hoeren as well as Paul L.C. Torremans (University of Nottingham), both distinguished experts of copyright law in Europe.
Dr Jütte defended his dissertation “Reconstructing European Copyright Law for the Digital Single Market” in 2016. It was published by Nomos last year. In his work, Dr Jütte provides a short history of EU copyright law, as well as thoroughly analysing the EU’s approach to copyright in the digital age within an international context. Most importantly, he proposes how to improve the functioning of the EU copyright system.
His efforts were lauded by Prof. Hoeren in an online review of the journal “Multimedia und Recht”. “It was a pleasure to read Jütte’s doctoral thesis,” he writes [own translation], complimenting its European outlook and ambitious goals. The thesis, he concludes, “deserves great respect and deep admiration.”
Thesis supervisor, Prof. Mark D. Cole, also receives an honourable mention as an excellent “sparring partner” for Dr Jütte’s ideas. “One can only congratulate the Luxembourg Faculty of Law,” Prof. Hoeren writes.
Another review, by University of Notthingham professor Paul L.C. Torremans and published in the renowned Common Market Law Review (Issue 5, 2018), praised Dr Jütte’s “in-depth scientific analysis”, concluding that the dissertation is “essential reading for all those who have digital creativity, flourishing creative industries and an efficient, certain, well-balances and systematically structured EU copyright system at the heart of their interests.”
Following the completion of his doctoral studies at the University of Luxembourg, Dr Jütte joined the University of Nottingham as a post-doctoral researcher. He continues to collaborate with Prof. Cole on a number of projects.
