If you know me, you know that I don’t always do things in life in the orthodox order. After passing my first state examination in law at the beginning of 2001, I wanted to do a doctorate. In fact, I had already made several preparations for it. But then life intervened and took me from Hamburg to Singapore. Which was fine, and I soon abandoned the idea of becoming a Doctor of Law and concentrated on my second state examination, then my career, and whatever else was happening in my life (which, as life goes, wasn’t all smooth sailing). A while ago, however, I picked up the idea again and pursued it further. Yesterday I was in Munich for my oral doctoral examination at Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU). I’m happy to report: I made it.
