Justice as an advantage to economy: between the expectation and reality (positions of the German legal experts)

Resume: This article presents some of the main results of a discussion on the role of justice, especially the legal system and the judges in Germany at the current stage of development of the society and the state with regards to not only law and order as a whole, but also in area of economy. The author highlights the statements made by the participants of the discussion on the flaws in the functioning of the German judicial system and its staff; the worsening of the material and procedural legal norms and the increase of their volume; the lack of public informing on the tasks and abilities of the modern courts, and the difficulties that the judges are faced with when they review civil, labor, or other cases. These and other elements, although somewhat lower the effectiveness of the legal system, do not take away from its importance, as German courts and judges are synonymous with high professionalism, independence and an extremely low chance of corruption. In the conclusion, the author reflects the positions of the experts on the ways and measures of improving the judicial system and defining the balance between the expectations and the reality of its function with regards to economy.
