kjell å modéer professor H.C.C. de Schepper and from Belgium professor L.Th. Maes, Antwerpen (1918-1978). Professor de Smidt set up a research group in 1969“Werkgroup Groote Raad van Mechelen”, which not only initiated the research regardingParlement/Grand Conseil deMalines (De Grote Raad vanMechelen) created in 1473, but which also initiated a memorable symposium in Mechelen due to the celebration of the 500 years of this High Court. In 1994 the Olin Foundation sponsored a symposium in Jönköping (Sweden) resulting in a volume regarding the Supreme jurisdiction and judiciaries in Early Modern Europe.6 At this symposium several of the first generation of postwar Imperial Chamber Court scholars participated, for example the law professors Bernhard Diestelkamp (Frankfurt/ Main),7 Friedrich Battenberg (Mainz),8 Wolfgang Sellert,9 Adolf Laufs,10 Jürgen Weitzel11 and Ulrich Eisenhardt.12 The Olin Foundation was also involved in a symposium related to the 350 years commeration of the inauguration of the ”Tribunal in Wismar, the Swedish Supreme court for their provinces within the Holy German Empire in 2003.”13 All the monographs regarding the Imperial Chamber Court in the German-Roman Empire have been published in the e.g. ”Green Series” (Die grüne Reihe), today (2018) containing 71 volumes.14 This research has now reached its third generation of scholars in our time of judicialization and when the judicial power has become a hot topic within law all over the place.15 5 500 jaar Grote Raad 1473-1973 - Catalogus tentoonstelling ’Van Karel de Stoute tot keizer Karel’ Cultureel Centrum Burgemeester A.
