Notes"Vor dem Gesetz" (English: "Before the Law") is a parable contained in the novel Der Prozess (English: The Trial) by Franz Kafka. "Before the Law" was published in Kafka's lifetime, first in the 1915 New Year's edition of the independent Jewish weekly Selbstwehr, then in 1919 as part of the collection Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor). Der Prozess, however, was not published until 1925, after Kafka's death.
