My Take
Eric Hilgendorf is exactly the sort of scholar I find essential right now. Born in Stuttgart in 1960, he holds a chair spanning criminal law, legal theory, and crucially, information and computer law. As algorithms and artificial intelligence outpace our institutions, we need jurists who neither panic nor surrender, but draw careful lines. I admire that he engages technology head-on, asking how the law can still protect people in a digital age. His work at Würzburg feels less like dusty academia and more like frontier thinking. I genuinely value minds willing to wrestle with questions most would rather avoid.
