Alexandra Juster is a qualified lawyer in Italy (Laurea in Giurisprudenza) and in France (French Bar examination). She is admitted to the bars in both countries and holds a doctorate in modern German literature. Having studied and lived in Austria, Italy, France, Spain and Germany, she is multilingual (mother tongue German, also fluent in English, French, Spanish and Italian), enabling her to access research sources in their original language and to draw on her knowledge of several legal systems and logics. Combining her legal training with literary skills and publishing experience allows her to move easily between law and literature in an interdisciplinary way. Since the beginning of her academic career in October 2020, when she started research for her dissertation, she has completed three monographs on the contemporary author Juli Zeh. All three monographs deal with literature, law, current social issues and philosophy in an interdisciplinary way. She has also published numerous anonymously reviewed articles on a range of socially relevant topics, as well as delivering conference presentations. This volume, Law, Literature and Legal Counterfactuals, stems from a research project at the University of Innsbruck, which was funded by the Austrian FWF.
