Controversies In 2025, Saskia Ludwig campaigned against the election of Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf as a constitutional judge. Following highly questionable allegations of plagiarism against Brosius-Gersdorf, she demanded that Brosius-Gersdorf temporarily suspend her teaching position at the University of Potsdam. Shortly thereafter it turned out that Ludwig's own work was being investigated by Potsdam University.

In an open letter, over 280 respected lawyers and academics protested against the way the Brosius-Gersdorf affaire was being handled: "Statements by individual members of the Bundestag that their university should take action against Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf based on these positions represent an attack on academic freedom itself." had been postponed, Saskia Ludwig warned the coalition government led by her party against re-nominating lawyer Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf: “She was and is not eligible for election at any time.”
