Excerpt from The Swiss Civil Code: Of December 10, 1907 (Effective January 1, 1912)
When the Comparative Law Bureau was inaugurated in August, 1907, as a branch of the American Bar Association, the final draft of the Swiss Civil Code had already attracted the attention of legal scholars on both sides of the Atlantic. The publicity given its preparation revealed the high mastery of its author, Professor Eugen Huber, Dr. Jur., rer. Publ. Et phil., of the University of Beme, in dealing with and mould ing into a practical yet scientific whole a multitude of ancient, local, contradictory and seemingly irreconcilable customs and statutes, cantonal and federal, which had in the course of centuries culminated in conditions no longer tolerable by an enlightened people. The gigantic and truly remarkable product of that great Master Mind in Jurisprudence was unanimously adopted without amendment in December, 1907, by the National Council and the Council of the States, to become effective on January 1, 1912, unless rejected by referendum. So well known and popular had the work be come that no referendum was demanded and for the first time Switzerland was endowed with a common federal civil law.
