If you want to know about Ole Lando, you can do no better than read his own memoir, “My Life as a Lawyer,” published in the Zeitschrift für Europäisches Privatrecht in 2002.1¹ There he sets out in characteristically short and pithy sentences the facts of his eighty years to that point, along with an account of the intellectual trajectory that saw him move from the deep study of international private law to the leadership of an academic movement to create, first, a European contract law, then, second, a European private law and, finally, a European civil code. The last has not (yet) come about; but the first, the Principles of European Contract Law published between 1995 and 2002 (generally known as “the Lando Principles”), will be an enduring monument to a remarkable figure in European legal history. The Principles, Definitions and Model Rules of European Private Law, published in 2009, and otherwise known as the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), was the work of many hands under the leadership of Christian von Bar; but Hugh Beale has rightly said that Lando became a father figure for the many bright young lawyers who labored on that enormous project.2² The role was one that suited his ebullient yet essentially egalitarian personality, relinquishing the leadership he had given throughout the preceding Contract project but still embodying the enthusiasm and drive that keeps a group working together in pursuit of a shared vision over very many years. His wise counsel at coordinating committee meetings cut many a Gordian knot in the ten years the project lasted.
