Two-jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are calculated in
next-to-leading order.
The importance of higher order corrections and recombination scheme
dependencies is studied for various jetalgorithms.
Some implications for the determination of
$\alpha_s(\mu_R^2)$, the determination of the gluon density and
the associated forward jet production in the low $x$ regime at HERA
are briefly discussed.
