“Legal bankruptcy is the inability of a legal system to provide justice to those subject to the law. An institution, especially a legal institution, reveals legal bankruptcy, for example, when it allows liars to rise to the top, makes graffiti artists into clerks, fraudsters into cashiers, forgers into recorders, impostors into assessors, and blackmailers into legal supervisors. Under such circumstances, the only promise of improvement lies in a complete return to generally accepted values (e.g., truth, freedom) and legal principles (e.g., pacta sunt servanda, prohibition of arbitrariness, competition, etc.).”
Gerhard Köbler
Gerhard Köbler is a German jurist and linguist specializing in legal science and legal theory.
This quote vividly illustrates that the collapse of the legal system inevitably entails the collapse of fundamental values. Only a return to truth, freedom, and established legal principles can revive justice.
