Summary/Abstract: The liability issue involves conceptually two aspects: compliance and violation of the law. The respect for the law is an essential and necessary condition for achieving the social functions of the law, and it excludes liability. The infringement of law penalizes the responsible ones, restores the legal, troubled order, repairs the damages and isolates, if necessary, the dangerous elements for society. The penalty has a strong educational role in relation to the illicit act but also a general educational and preventive role, through the warning addressed to others on the consequences of the illegal acts and on the interests of citizens to observe the requirements of the legal rules. The interests protected by the infringed legal rules may be of public and private order, therefore there are two categories of liability forms: forms of liability that protect the public interests and forms of liability that protect private interests. In the light of the latest legal rules doctrinal debates and solutions of jurisprudence, in this study we will focus on some of the forms of legal liability that protect the public interest: the constitutional law liability, the administrative, criminal, public international law, financial law liability. We only outline, for example, their most important features, and the legal specific sciences to further detail the issue.
