In 1986, the editors of the “Critical Quarterly for Legislation and Law (CritQ)“ – with publication re-starting after a 40 year break – professed the aims of the young magazine that at the same time enjoyed a long tradition. It was to be the forum for open, interdisciplinary-oriented, intradisciplinary-informed critical jurisprudence grounded in the theory-praxis dialogue. Since then, the CritQ has repeatedly shown itself to be more than a “collection of articles and decisions” from various disciplines. It was always at the cutting edge of legal policy without being opportunistic. It remained sensitive to the deficits in the legal system and described the dramatic change of its controlling functions, including the destruction of individual liberties which often went along with this change, without falling into a lament. The critique was biting without being destructive. These characteristics have made it an important medium in the German-speaking discourse for all who wish to think beyond the dogmatic limitations of legal science. It is this critical approach that is to be cultivated. It is also to be expanded, however. Objects of critique change, and the changes in objects require a corresponding change in the communication of critique. The legal system, once tied to national boundaries, has been differentiated both vertically and horizontally. The vertical movement has occurred because hierarchies of norms are being created and established beyond the state orders. International law binds states’ legal systems into an international legal order, and community law claims priority over national norms. Human rights, interpreted and applied by international courts, affect state law and remind it of its responsibilities. The horizontal movement has occurred because sub-systems of European and international law are partially linked to each other and yet at times partially compete with each other. The classic separation of legal sciences into the disciplines of civil law, public law, and penal law, is increasingly breaking down. System control using law makes use of individual elements of these disciplines and puts them together in a new and different way. The highest judicial controls are developing in the form of a dialogue between trans-national and state legal organs. They make up the framework of legal protection around the horizontally differentiated legal system. In this process, the protection of individual freedoms often remains underdeveloped. European legal magazines hardly reflect the adaptations of law to social, political, and systemic needs for control in Europe. They typically – exceptions prove the rule – persist in a technical, dogmatic, or at best legal comparative approach. But precisely this remains superficial when it ignores both the respective legal functions in a changing societal structure and the historical-political background of laws, their genesis, and their application. On the European legal magazine market, legal developments are in the best I. Stefan Braum
