What do I have to do with labor law or social welfare? A good old friend, a gifted professor of civil law, celebrated his 70th birthday and received a commemorative volume to mark this milestone anniversary. Raimund Waltermann has been researching and teaching about current issues in labor and social law for decades—so what am I supposed to write about that? Together with Stefan Pinelli from Volkswagen, I’ve written a humorous piece on the significance of emojis in general civil law. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
