The event took place in hybrid mode on 8 November 2023 from 18:30 CET.

On November 8, 2023, another event of the Evening Lecture series, initiated by Prof Dr Susanne Augenhofer, LL.M. (Yale), took place at the Institute for Business and Tax Law of the University of Innsbruck. Judge Guido Calabresi, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law and Professorial Lecturer in Law, who joined online, and Norman I. Silber, Professor of Law and the Associate Dean for Intellectual Life at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law, Hofstra University, conjointly presented their book "Outside In - The Oral History of Guido Calabresi", published on March 10, 2023. Prof Dr Pascal Pichonnaz, President of the European Law Institute (ELI), and Prof Dr Bernhard A. Koch, LL.M. (Michigan), Dean of Studies of the Faculty of Law Innsbruck, opened the event by welcoming the speakers as well as the audience. Judge Calabresi is considered one of the co-founders of the legal theorem of "Law and Economics". The co-authored book offers an in-depth insight into the life of Judge Calabresi. It examines not only his beginnings as a legal scholar at Yale Law School and his career in justice but also the connection between Italian Jewish society during the Second World War and the development of US-American jurisprudence in the second half of the 20th century.
