scholarly journals OVERCOMING LEGAL NIGILISM, RESOLUTION OF LEGAL CONFLICTS AND RESTRICTION OF LAW ABUSING- VALIDITY BASIS OF LAW FORMATION

The aim of the article is to investigate the reasons of legal nihilism and abuse of law origin, to find the optimal ways of overcoming these negative legal phenomena and, as a result, to solve legal conflicts in the activity of state authorities and local self-government, their officials, providing recommendations on introducing liability for law abusing. The process of establishing respect to the law is primarily connected with overcoming legal nihilism, legal conflicts and abuse of law limitation. Legal nihilism retards the decent development of the legal system, encumbers the access of society members to legal values and becomes a serious obstacle on the way of the formation of civil society. Specificity of any legal conflict lays in the fact that is its features and peculiarities are shown, seen and characterized from the position of law, specific legal norms and their requirements, decrees, orders to be perceived and evaluated differently by subjects of law A sense of respect together with legal awareness allows a person logically, reasonably, rationally evaluate and find the most suitable way of behavior and legitimate actions. When manifesting real respect here operates one of the important legal principles of civil society - respect for the rights and freedoms of others as their own. This principle is based on the necessity to keep away from any actions (inaction) so directly or indirectly worsening social or legal status of an individual. We mean here exclusion of not only unlawful actions, but also the facts of rude misuse of law. Factors of rude misuse of law are real assets of law practice, therefore, when understanding problems related to the establishment and development of legal awareness, legal culture, and respect for the law, it is necessary to consider the fact that legislation doesn`t forbid to do evil and is the abuse of law in its purest form. And it cannot be avoided, since law shouldn`t be ubiquitous, otherwise a person would be completely deprived of freedom. However, a civil society, betaking spiritual and moral potential capabilities, can create a certain exclusion zone for people challenging law abusing.

Cash waqf in Indonesia has been long enough implemented based on some rules enacted by government and other rules defined by The Waqf Board of Indonesia (BWI). However, the implementation of cash waqf has not reached the level of success. Therefore, this article studies the application of cash waqf law in Indonesia according to Friedman’s legal system theory. The legal system theory of Friedman firstly looks at the substance of the law, which is the rules or regulations; and secondly it examines the structure of the law, encompassing the law enforcement agencies, such as judge, prosecutor, police and legal counselors. And lastly the theory examines the element of legal culture, which is a response from Muslim society. The first two examinations indicate that there is nothing to be a problem. But from the last examination there is a problem regarding the trust from Muslim society. From the legal culture point of view, the implementation of cash waqf by the government, which is performed by BWI, needs attracting society’s credentials in order to improve and maximize the performance of cash waqf in Indonesia.

ISBN 0-521-79283-5. £70.00.The past few decades have witnessed a welcome expansion in historians' understanding of English legal cultures, a development that has extended the reach of legal history far beyond the boundaries circumscribed by the Inns of Court, the central tribunals of Westminster, and the periodic provincial circuits of their judges, barristers, and attorneys. The publication of J. G. A. Pocock's classic study, The ancient constitution and the feudal law, in 1957 laid essential foundations for this expansion by underlining the centrality of legal culture to wider political and intellectual developments in the early modern period. Recent years have seen social historians elaborate further upon the purchase exercised by legal norms outside the courtroom. Criminal law was initially at the vanguard of this historiographical trend, and developments in this field continue to revise and enrich our understanding of the law's pervasive reach in British culture. But civil litigation – most notably disputes over contracts and debts – now occupies an increasingly prominent position within the social history of the law. Law's empire, denoting the area of dominion marked out by the myriad legal cultures that emanated both from parliamentary statutes and English courts, is now a far more capacious field of study than an earlier generation of legal scholars could imagine. Without superseding the need for continued attention to established lines of legal history, the mapping of this imperial terrain has underscored the imperative for new approaches to legal culture that emphasize plurality and dislocation rather than the presumed coherence of the common law.

Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) was established and developed with a gradual process of legal legality, namely BMT in which its legal entity was not yet known, BMT that had not had a legal entity, and BMT that had a diverse legal entity. This writing aimed at analyzing the concept of legal strengthening of BMT in Indonesia. This type of legal research was normative legal research on legal principles and legal systematics. Based on the discussion, it was concluded that BMT could be a legal entity because it had fulfilled the requirements requested by legislation, namely the general rule of Article 1653 of the Civil Code which stated that in addition to genuine civil fellowship, the law also recognized assembly of people as legal entity, both held or recognized by the government, or the assembly was accepted as permitted, or had been established for a specific purpose that was not contrary to law or good morality. Juridical considerations for BMT institutions were legal legality for every sharia economic activity and the variety and partial legal norms of BMT.

The article is devoted to the research of the institute of responsibility of public servants in the system of service law of Ukraine. It is emphasized the importance of legal support for the functioning of the public service system, in particular the regulation of the mechanism of responsibility of public servants. It is noted that the institution of responsibility is a mandatory element of the system of every branch of law, including official, because it is this legal entity whose task is to ensure the proper implementation of the legal status of every public servant. Considering the responsibility of public servants from the standpoint of social and legal content, the author emphasizes that the views of scholars on this issue are very different, as they reflect the palette of the worldview of each individual researcher and characterize the various aspects of public relations. In a wide sense, responsibility is a legal relationship between public authorities in the person of its authorized bodies and subjects of law, for the accurate and conscientious implementation of the requirements contained in the relevant rules of law. Analyzing the scientific views of scholars on responsibility, it is emphasized that in general, the liability of public servants should be understood as a procedurally established application of coercive measures of coercive influence on a particular public person for committing an offense. It is stated that the content of the legal nature of the institute of disciplinary responsibility of public servants, in particular in the system of service law of Ukraine, which needs proper research, remains important and extremely necessary for law enforcement and human rights activities of authorized subjects. Based on the analysis of scientific achievements of local and foreign scholars on the legal system, it is emphasized that currently there are different approaches to understanding the systemic structure of legal branches, in particular some scholars remain on the views developed in our time, while others try to adapt European researchers-lawyers on the system of law on modern Ukrainian realities. As a result, the author emphasizes that we can now state that each branch of law, which we call general, special or special law, always contains a list of legal norms in the appropriate relationship and sequence and thus ensuring the ability of the subject of rule-making, law enforcement or human rights activities to achieve the desired result – to create or harmonize existing social relations, giving them the status of legal relations. Keywords: public service, service law, responsibility, legal system, general, special and special part, sanctions.

Is the idea of so-called “secondary legality” defensible?The aim of the study is critical analysis of the idea of so-called “secondary legality” of an act used by some jurists to explain types of behaviour falling into the category of circumstances excluding lawlessness of an act justification, namely to define the relation between such types of behaviour and the legal system as a whole, and the various sanctioned norms that are part of the system. First, the author examines the relation between the assumption that a type of behaviour which falls within the category of circumstances excluding lawlessness of an act constitutes a legal transgression of the sanctioned norm, and the basic assumptions made in the Polish legal culture concerning the process of creation and application of the law as well as its systematic analysis. He demonstrates that consistent use of the secondary legality category would require a considerable remodelling of these assumptions, above all, rejection of the assumption that legal norms are introduced to be met as well as all consequences stemming from this assumption as well as abandonment of the approach to the law as a set of legal norms that is internally cohesive. Next, the author analyses the internal aspects of the idea of secondary legality of an act. He demonstrates that it encompasses contradictory statements: on the one hand that justifi able behaviour constitutes socially harmful, negative and thus a typical attack on legal interest, and on the other hand that the social benefits ultimately outweigh losses in the case of justifiable behaviour. All the above justifies the author’s final conclusion that the category of secondary legality of an act is not useful.

Legal principles are an important conception in the legal doctrine and the legal practice of democratic countries.

However, this approach does not result in the understanding of principles in constitutional law. That is why principles in constitutional law are an actual topic. The article aims to examine the fundamental concepts to find the justifications of constitutional principles. Hence, the author pays attention to the content of constitutional law and constitutionalism as principles-based categories. First, constitutional law is a fundamental part of the law in the legal system, and all the parts of the law are dependent on constitutional law. Second, the universal constitutional principles are the same for all legal systems. After all, constitutionalism doctrine consists of the limitation of power, and nowadays, this is expressed through the constitution and different constitution principles. The author uses comparative legal, phenomenological, and system-structural analysis as a valid methodology for this research. Finally, the research investigation contains the following conclusions that enable the author to prove the motivation of the science paper to study the outlined topic. First, constitutional law is the basis of the legal system, which embodies constitutional principles; constitutional law has the same effect on public law and private law. Second, constitutionalism is a source for finding constitutional principles. Third, the system of constitutional principles includes the following characteristics: universality and specificity. The system of constitutional principles is open and depends on the interpretation of constitutions.
