In his article, the author asks how legitimacy of law and the concept of rules of law can be described taking into account the interaction between aspects of philosophy and sociology as well as the will of the state in states' constitutions. As the rule of law, versus other kinds of rules in our society, should be regarded as a rule of "three-dimensionality" " an interaction between the will of the state, the social, historical, and economic factors, and the idea or concept of justice ", the author focuses his interest on the examination of these three factors always taking into account that law is the will of the state, but that not every decision of the state can be considered as law.
The article deals with the responsibility of the financial sector under criminal law in Germany. This question has been of special interest since the beginning of the financial crisis. The author argues that the transactions of asset-backed securities based on American subprime mortgages fulfill all legal elements of the criminal offence "breach of trust" (Untreue). From the author's point of view, the people's legal loyalty would be severely affected if there were no criminal proceedings against such bankers who purchased those toxic asset-backed securities without sufficient information on their structure and value. Refraining from criminal prosecution even in cases causing high loss would send a dangerous signal towards the investment banking industry.
