As a professor for Roman law at the University of Bern, Philipp Lottmar also applied himself to another branch of law, securing his renown as a founding father of labour law. This interdisciplinary volume collects papers delivered at the conference to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Lotmar assuming the Chair of Roman Law. The title, which asks whether Lotmar was ‘The Last Pandectist or the First Labour Lawyer’ does not seek to foreclose either possibility, but to foster discussion about these two aspects of his scholarship: Roman law and labour law. The contributions from internationally renowned scholars of Roman and labour law principally seek to answer the following questions: what method did Philipp Lotmar apply in his research on Roman law, and what is its relation to pandectism? What is the role of Roman law in his works on labour law? What does current scholarship on labour law owe him in particular, and to what extent do these research traditions rely on his scholarly legacy even today?
