Abstract: 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.

Keywords: Corruption, law, court, court proceedings, judicial system, judges, labor arguments, justice, economy, lawyer

Abstract: The author of the article analyzes the results of discussing the German reform of criminal-environmental legislation conducted in Berlin as a part of the conference on the problems of implementation of the 45th Law on changes and amendments to the Criminal Code of Germany. Lately lawmakers of many countries try to consider new tendencies and make certain changes in regulatory acts related to criminal and administrative responsibility for violation of the environmental law. The brightest example is the Directive 2008/99/EU about the protection of environment by the criminal law as if November 19, 2008. The Directive contains not only a signi ficant number of provisions to be taken into account by the law-makers of the EU member states during a two-year period but also justification of adopted decisions. The Directive was implemented by German law-makers when they adopted their 45th Law on changes and amendments to the Criminal Code of Germany as well as federal laws about environmental protection, hunting and waste products.

Keywords: crime, punishment, criminal environmental law, sanction, reform, directive, law, negative inß uence, environment, attempt.
