To celebrate the Chinese New Year on 24 January, Professor Möllers invited six doctoral students and visiting scholars supervised by the RICE Research Unit in Augsburg and Munich to a joint lunch. Due to the very great success of the Chinese edition of Juristische Methodenlehre, which has sold more than 10,000 copies in China in the six months since its publication, the plan arose to offer a seminar on "Juristische Methodik" this year. During the discussion session, Professor Möllers introduced the process and characteristics of legal methodology and gave the young scholars useful advice on how to write a good thesis.

The Chinese edition of the book "Legal Methods" has attracted much attention and an enthusiastic response from readers after its publication in China at the end of July 2022. The Chinese news of 31 December 2022 reported that the book won two prizes at the China Law Book Awards.

First, the book was ranked No. 1 by Peking University Press as the best-designed law book among hundreds of law books in 2022 because of its design.

Secondly, the Dewey Law Commune, a public WeChat platform with great renown in China's legal community, selected the ten most influential books on the rule of law in China for that year. Legal Methods was also chosen.
