ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the legal academics who evidently played a decisive role in the creation of the two formulas: Professors Friedrich Carl von Savigny in Germany and Peter Birks in the UK. It places the contribution of these academics in the broader context of the role of legal academics in society and their role as agents of change. To what extent do legal academics impact legal change, and how does the birth of unjust enrichment fit within this framework?
