CPLJ (Comparative Procedural Law and Justice)

CPLJ is a global project on comparative civil justice, organized by the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law and supported by the Luxembourg Research Fund FNR (FNR - O19/13946847).

Officially launched in September 2020, it was the flagship research project of the Department of European and Comparative Procedural Law of the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg, led by Burkhard Hess. In January 2024, the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg and CPLJ were transferred to the University of Luxembourg. The University of Luxembourg then took responsibility as Coordinating Institution until the project's completion in August 2024.

Burkhard Hess was the founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Procedural Law where CPLJ was originally launched. He continued the project as leading editor from his new chair at the University of Vienna.
