Archival History Note. The Higher Regional Court confiscated the files of the deported or emigrated Jewish legal advisers. The files, which were handed over to the State Archives in 1986, were badly affected by improper storage; some of the files were removed because of mixed contents or severely damaged (e.g. by tearing out the stamps). The order of the records was based on the filing system of the archivist of the Staatsarchiv Hamburg, e.g., the files were recorded chronologically in the order of their opening, and alphabetically by names of clients.
