by Felix Stoerk
Born in Ofen, now part of Budapest, on October 20, 1851, Felix Stoerk was an Austrian jurist and legal writer best known for his work in public, constitutional, and international law. He studied law at the University of Vienna, earned his doctorate in 1875, and continued his academic development with further study in cities including Berlin and Paris.
After qualifying as a lecturer in Vienna, he moved into a professorial career and from 1882 was associated with the University of Greifswald, where he later became a full professor. Reference works consistently describe him as a specialist in public law and international law, and he is also noted as an editor of the "Archiv für öffentliches Recht."
Stoerk died in Greifswald on January 18, 1908. Among the works linked to him are studies such as Zur Methodik des öffentlichen Rechts and Völkerrecht und Völkercourtoisie, which suggest a strong interest in how states, legal systems, and international norms relate to one another.
