Are those centuries of jurisprudence still valuable in these scenarios if they're not working?

  How do we know they're not working? Maybe it's working perfectly to protect financiers from being prosecuted for immoral but legal acts.

    That would be what most people mean when they say they laws are not working. Similar to how, if our laws allowed highwaymen to get away with murder, we'd say they were failing us even though they were working perfectly to protect armed robbers.

      If an act isn't actually illegal, your problem isn't with the courts. It's with the legislative branch.
