Historical Note

Albert A. Ehrenzweig was a law professor at the University of California-Berkeley. His writings included treatises on psychoanalytic jurisprudence and on conflict of laws. Ehrenzweig was born in Vienna and established a career in Austria, which he abandoned as a result of the Nazi rise to power. He emigrated to the United States and returned to law school in Chicago in 1939. In 1948 Ehrenzweig joined the faculty at UC-Berkeley, where he taught until his death in 1974.
