Thomas M. J. Möllers (born January 25, 1962 in Mainz) is a German legal scholar, focusing on capital market law.

Academic life

[edit]

Möllers studied law in Mainz and Dijon. He conducted research for his doctorate under Walther Hadding and his habilitation under Wolfgang Fikentscher as a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and at the European University Institute in Florence. After his habilitation on the subject of "Legal protection in environmental and liability law"[1] at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Möllers became a professor of civil law, commercial law, European law, international private law, and comparative law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Augsburg in 1996.[2]


He has held visiting and research professorships at the Universities of Sydney,[3] Pittsburgh,[4] North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Pepperdine, Hobart, Washington, D.C.,[5] Beijing,[6] Lyon,[7] and Lanzhou.

Work

[edit]

Over 150 of Möllers' publications are on capital market law.[8] Within these he has discussed topics such as the investigated economic scandals involving Volkswagen and Wirecard.[9] More recently, Möllers has been working on sustainability in capital market law and the interactions between psychology, environmental and capital market law.[10]

In 2001 Möllers’ Juristische Arbeitstechnik und wissenschaftliches Arbeiten (Legal Working Technique and Academic Work) was first published, which developed standards for the academic work of a lawyer.[11] When the plagiarism of former German Defense Minister zu Guttenberg was uncovered, these standards were being used as a guideline.[12] Möllers also focuses his research on legal methodology. His findings are compiled in his Juristische Methodenlehre (Legal Methods), which has been translated to English in 2020[13] and Chinese in 2022.[14]



At the University of Augsburg Möllers is responsible for the Augsburg Summer Program and an academic exchange program with six US-American universities (George Washington University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Pepperdine University, Santa Clara University, Chicago-Kent College of Law, University of Pittsburgh) and Peking University in Beijing.[15] He is also a member of the advisory board of the Munich Intellectual Property Law Center (MIPLC), a cooperation between the University of Augsburg, the Technical University of Munich, George Washington University and the Max Planck Society.[16]
