Zur Herstellung von Legitimität in der arbeitsgerichtlichen Entscheidungspraxis

'On Legitimacy in the Case Law of the Federal Labour Court - From Ideology to Legal Myth': The object of the study is the analysis of selected judicatures of labour courts. The analytical conceptual framework is formed by three theorems: legitimacy, ideology and legal myth. The mechanisms for producing legitimacy in labour court decision-making practice are made transparent. They obscure the view of the ideological contexts lying behind the reasons for decisions. Against this background, the contents of the decisions are subjected to a critique of ideology.
