During this time, he began to write an extensive treatise on the private laws of the
cantons, which was published in four volumes.[3] In 1892, he was asked by the Swiss government to draft the Swiss
civil code (Zivilgesetzbuch), which he completed in 1904.[4] It was enacted in 1907 and entered into force in 1912. The Zivilgesetzbuch was applauded for being clear and modern, and it was later adopted in
Turkey.
Huber was also a member of the Law Sources Commission of the Swiss Lawyers Society, which prepared the edition of the
Collection of Swiss Law Sources.[5]
