Peter Häberle (born 13 May 1934 in Göppingen, Baden-Württemberg) is a German legal scholar, specialising in constitutional law.
In 1961 he received his juris doctor under supervision of Konrad Hesse at the faculty of law, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg.
Much like his academic teacher Konrad Hesse, Häberle stands in the tradition of the Rudolf Smend school of thought.
[citation needed] Peter Häberle supervised the 2006 doctoral thesis of German politician Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.
Initially Häberle had defended the thesis of Guttenberg, whom he considered "one of his best students", against accusations of plagiarism, calling them "absurd".
