For legal scholars, who, by the way, in most cases in Germany get money from publishers for their content (which makes it hard for them to adopt oa practises.....), the publisher-induced reputation counts for a lot. But there is an interesting disruptive development to watch: The more legal scholars publish for free via open access platforms, the more likely it is that publishers will get involved in models.

FYI take a look at nomos.de/zeitschriften/ruz/

RUZ is an acedemic legal journal whose reputation is derived from the editorial board & the publishers name, well recognized in the legal sciences.

A fixed circle of customers of libraries finances the journal, but neither publishers nor readers have to pay.
