LEGAL REFORMS IN GERMANY: NEW TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAW

Abstract

The modern system of law in the world is undergoing fundamental changes. In many ways, they are directly related to the new legal reforms being carried out in most countries of the European Union. They actually mark a new stage in the development of modern law and contribute to the emergence of new trends in its development. This article is devoted to new directions in the development of law in Germany, to the formulation of tasks for the legislator to effectively change laws in various spheres of society on the basis of practical experience. The author uses methods of analysis, comparativistics, and modeling. The practical significance of the conclusions obtained on the basis of legal analysis of laws and their application lies in concrete proposals for the legislator to change legal regulation in important areas of modern society (constitutional, civil law, criminal, labour, social and other areas). The author draws attention to the fact that laws must meet the urgent needs of the individual. Legislative changes undertaken as part of law reform should always take into account the need for a transitional period to adapt the law or create a situation for people to understand and trust the law. While interpreting the law higher courts of the European Union member states should pay more attention to their citizens’ views on it.
