In societies where political government is democratically elected, the laws are to a large degree in the hands of the ruled class (because they constitute the overwhelming majority of the people and their votes swamp the votes of the capitalist class.) This helps ensure that, to the extent possible within the context of capitalist economics, the legal structure will be acceptable by the majority and workable. Which is of immense benefit to the capitalist class.
********* Point of information: Selection of candidates comes before election of law makers/judges and the selectors are not members of the ruled class in a bourgeois democracy.
