Jet event rates in deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA are investigated applying the modified JADE jet algorithm. The analysis uses data taken with the H1 detector in 1994 and 1995. The data are corrected for detector and hadronization effects and then compared with perturbative QCD predictions using next-to-leading order calculations. The strong coupling constant alpha_S(M_Z^2) is determined evaluating the jet event rates. Values of alpha_S(Q^2) are extracted in four different bins of the negative squared momentum transfer~$\qq$ in the range from 40 GeV2 to 4000 GeV2. A combined fit of the renormalization group equation to these several alpha_S(Q^2) values results in alpha_S(M_Z^2) = 0.117+-0.003(stat)+0.009-0.013(syst)+0.006(jet algorithm).

Measured (2+1) jet event rates using the modified JADE algorithm (C=MEAS), corrected to the hadron (C=HAD) and to the parton (C=PAR) level. The variable Z(p) is defined as the minimum (for i=1,2) of. (E_jet,i*(1-cos(theta_jet,i)/SUM(j=1,2)(E_jet,j*(1-cos(theta,j)).
