Law Making

The paper discusses general regularities affecting the discretion in law enforcement and law-making practice in the countries of the Romano-Germanic legal family. Factor analysis provides a detailed description of the most important laws related to the exercise of discretion in the law enforcement and law-making practice of the states of the specified legal family. In particular, the author draws attention to the dual nature of judicial rulemaking, the pronounced codified nature of legislation, the leading role of a normative legal act in the system of law sources, the presence of explicit conceptuality and doctrinality, and other essential factors. In comparison with the system of common law, the continental legal family is characterized by the significant influence of the works of legal scholars and the expressed and intense perception of legal doctrines and theories. The author notes that the array of acts of interpretation significantly influences the uniformity of judicial practice in the continental legal system since this is a way to give flexibility to the legal regulation of public relations. Besides, the codifiers use a large number of scientifically based general provisions to formulate prescriptions, which are the main focus. The paper considers the fact that in the Romano-Germanic legal family, the lawyers regard as unacceptable the situation when the will of the judicial authorities determines the decisions made by the legislator since a traditionary one is a situation when the judicial authorities implement the will of the legislator. The author concludes that the rule of law is a consistent principle of the continental legal system. The paper states that scientific development should pay particular emphasis to the problems of law enforcement discretion. Thus, judicial discretion in law is most typical for the legal systems of the Anglo-Saxon legal family, and administrative discretion (the discretion of administrative jurisdiction) – for the Romano-Germanic legal family. The legal system developed in a particular state determines the general and specific regularities of exercising discretion in law practice.

The article deals with the issues of gaps in law, it is stated that at present the problem of gaps is caused by the development of public relations. The negative consequences of gaps and their causes are determined. Several classifications of gaps that are made in science are considered. It is concluded that the deliberate creation of gaps by the subjects of law-making can be a corruption-induced factor. The classification of gaps depending on the truth (real and imaginary) is analyzed in detail. It is concluded that under the imaginary spaces can occur, both the addressees and the addressees of legal messages. In the first case, the addressees due to lack of necessary knowledge may have a false idea about the lack of legal regulation. When considering the second option, there is agreement with the scientific position that the addressees may, for subjective reasons, try to resolve gaps in the law, which do not really exist, thereby giving rise to excessive legitimization or real gaps. The article considers the options of filling the gaps in the law proposed in science. Further, it is proposed to apply to this problem the provisions of hermeneutics. The possibility of applying hermeneutic methodology to eliminate gaps is substantiated. It is concluded that preliminary modeling of communicative processes in the course of law-making can be used as a measure to counteract the gap in laws. The author suggests the need to limit the "arbitrariness of the reader" in the process of applying the analogy of law and law, as well as in the process of forming a legal precedent.

The article describes the scientific approaches to understanding of the doctrine, the legal doctrine, and the legal regulation doctrine. The article states that the public relations’ reformation, the current needs of legal practice require fundamentally new approaches to legal doctrine not only as one of the sources of law, but also as an important component of the process of law-making, law enforcement and legal interpretation. The research focuses on the fact that the legal doctrine in general and the doctrine of legal regulation in particular belongs to a key position both in the general and theoretical legal science and in the science of industry direction. It is emphasized that theorists of law analyze the legal doctrine due to the application of the methodological potential of philosophy and theory of law through the prism of the interaction of legal doctrine and the doctrine of legal regulation. The author provides the definition of the legal regulation’s doctrine as a component of legal doctrine based on previous knowledge and is the result of fundamental scientific research, a set of scientific ideas, views, concepts, theories recognized by the scientific community, that can be applied in law-making, law-enforcement and legal interpretation activities. The important attention is paid to the peculiarities of the legal regulation’s doctrine. It is aimed at a certain object of knowledge; is a certain set of ideas, views, principles of scientific knowledge, concepts, theories, etc.; requires a set of generalizations; is formed under the influence of needs and social interests; has a communicative, informational orientation; is in close cooperation with law-making, law-enforcement and legal interpretation activities; has a certain structure, cognitive and strong-willed components, is formed in society and the state by generalization of scientific knowledge, etc. The research defines the factors that influence the formation and development of the doctrine of legal regulation. They are divided into factors of both objective and subjective nature. The particular attention is paid to the main functions of the doctrine of legal regulation, namely: cognitive, informational, prognostic, communication, etc.

The article is devoted to the introduction of digital technologies in law-making activities. The process of digitalization has actively affected economic relations, which has led to the transformation of public administration. Law, being the main regulator of public relations, is also undergoing significant changes. The subject of the study is the results of the digitalization of law-making activities, which leave an imprint on the entire system of state and legal relations. The article presents a bibliographic review of modern works on this issue, describes the main trends in this area, and assesses the practical results of the digital technologies impact on law-making. The models of digitalization are analyzed: automation of all processes, which assumes the absolute exclusion of a person and the preservation of human participation at the stage of making the final decision. The author investigates the main stages of law-making activity, where the use of digital technologies is possible: the formation of law-making initiatives; the process of preparing a normative legal act; discussion of the draft normative legal act; the voting process; the process of promulgation and publication. The author provides the examples of specific electronic platforms: «Russian Public Initiative», the System for Ensuring Legislative Activity, Simplex+, Reaching everyone for active citizenship & home (REACH) and specific technologies (ML-model, LL-model, blockchain), both already used and developed in Russia and abroad. It is indicated that digital technologies can be used to systematize regulatory legal acts, and the question of using digital technologies in predicting the future directions of legal regulation is raised. It is concluded that it is necessary to determine the main directions and principles of digitalization of law-making, the goals and limits of the introduction of digital technologies in the law-making process.

Law Making

The author analyzes doctrinal approaches to characterizing the prospects for the development of law-formation in Ukraine. The methodological inadequacy of ensuring the study of the prospects of development of legal phenomena, including lawmaking, is noted. It is noted that law-formation as a socio-legal phenomenon is due to various factors of its development, is influenced by the peculiarities of society as a sphere of its existence, and the state as a central subject of law-making. This conditionality of the process of law formation characterizes such dialectical regularities as the presence of prospects for development and the ability to improve legally significant activities, including activities in the field of law enforcement. Prospects for the development of law-formation as its integral property, reflects the relevant qualitative changes in the process and content of the law-formation, occurring within the temporal boundaries and characterize the law-formation as a phenomenon that has the dynamics of its development. These characteristics of the law-formation are most thoroughly and comprehensively disclosed in terms of prognostic method of scientific research, because, on the one hand, based on temporal properties and due to relations between subjects, changes in their content that form the basis of law, and on the other hand, they are manifested at the level of legal institutions (the process of law-formation, norms of law, legal regulation, the subjective composition of law-making, etc.). In this regard, the issue of prospects for the development of lawmaking and ways to improve it in terms of improving the process of law formation, identification and consideration of objective laws of its development, improving the quality of law, the quality of its expression, the effectiveness of public relations is important. scientific rethinking in order to develop scientific knowledge about the prospects of law, ways to improve both the process of its formation and improve the quality of law itself. Based on the analysis of scholars' views on the problem of studying law-formation in modern conditions of development of Ukrainian society, the cognitive perspectives of application of the prognostic method of studying law-making in Ukraine are established. Prospects for the development and ways to improve law-formation as independent theoretical and legal aspects of knowledge of law education require the isolation and further application of the prognostic method of research, which is potentially able to: first, to reveal lawmaking through the prism of its development; secondly, to reveal in the most comprehensive way the objective and subjective aspects that determine the future qualitative state of the law-formation, to determine the ways of influencing the formation of law to increase its level; thirdly, to structure the development of law-formation in separate directions.

Introduction: the knowledge of the legal regulation sphere and its limits is impossible without the analysis of the factors under the influence of which it is formed. Despite the obvious significance, the factors of establishing the limits of legal regulation did not become an independent subject of research but were only indirectly affected in the context of the analysis of the legal education factors. Meanwhile, these factors are of independent importance and need additional reflection. Their identification and clarification contribute to the introduction of the concept of “smart regulation” in the law-making policy of the modern state. Purpose: to identify the factors of setting the limits of legal regulation. Methods: the methodological framework for the study was made up of the general scientific and specific scientific methods of cognition. Results: the analysis of the factors of the establishment of the legal regulation sphere and its limits with the aim of its most adequate reflection as a subject of legal regulation is a necessary condition for improving the effectiveness of the law-making policy of the modern state. Conclusions: the factors that determine the limits of legal regulation can be objective and subjective. The objective factors determine the limits of the sphere of legal regulation; as such, it is necessary to consider the properties of public relations that have a legal nature, which in turn are under the influence of the objective factors of a natural and social nature, traditionally referred to as lawforming. The main natural factors should include biological, geographical, climatic, and physiological factors. The main objective social factors are scientific and technological, axiological, economic, and psychological. The identification of the sphere of legal regulation and its consolidation as a subject of legal regulation are caused not only by the influence of the objective factors but also by the subjective ones, which should include political-legal, scientific-cognitive, and technical-legal. All these factors interact with each other and “work” in the system. Depending on the specifics of the public attitude that is in the sphere of legal regulation and is fixed as its subject, the influence of various factors will be unequal.

The article is devoted to the study of the nature of the legislative pover and the disclosure of its role to serve as a legitimate basis for legislative activity. The provision is substantiated that the parliament, as a representative body of the whole people, has the highest level of legitimacy and on this basis exercises the right to legislate public relations according to the principle of separation of powers, including the exclusive right to regulate the most important issues of organization and exercise of power (article 92 of the Constitution of Ukraine). The relationship between the concepts of legislative power and legislative activity of the parliament is revealed and the recognition of the legislative activity of the parliament as the main, key function of the parliament and the organizational way of implementing the legislative power of the state is substantiated. The conditions, scope, limits, advantages and disadvantages of the practice of delegated legislation, which is widespread in democratic countries, as well as the legally sanctioned government rule-making on the basis of the instructions of the government provided by separate laws are investigated. The powers of the parliament in the field of law-making  activity are analyzed, the source of which is the legislative power delegated by the people to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, due to which the parliament receives from the people the primary right to carry out its law-making activity. The essence of legislative activity carried out within the legislative process is revealed, as activity on revealing of need for legal regulation of public relations, estimation of draft laws, their completion, carrying out professional examination, discussion and completion in committees, i.e. all actions directed on proper elaboration of laws’ projects. It is noted that the legislative process is not only and not so much limited by parliament, but also includes pre-parliamentary stages of work on the draft law (initiation, drafting, public discussion, examination, coordination with interested bodies and organizations). The general characteristic of subjects of law-making activity is given, the nature of powers of parliament on the organization and implementation of control over law-making activity is analyzed.

The paper presents the evolution of law-making process in the Russian Empire through the prism of urban planning legal regulation. It covers the period of uncodified and codified legislation with the period up to the appearance of the Digest of Laws of the Russian Empire (all its editions) and the Complete Collection of Laws of the Russian Empire (PSZRI). In these materials, the author identified about 300 historical normative acts related to the regulation of urban development from the era of Peter the Great to 1825 (the period systematized in the PSZRI), and a number of major codified acts of the 19th — early 20th century. The analysis of their content and form formed the basis for conclusions about the quality of law-making process in the Russian Empire.Based on the analysis of normative material covering construction, architectural legislation, legal norms in the field of organization of urban development, the author considers the characteristic features of pre-revolutionary law-making process in encouraging the creation of normative acts, conceptual techniques of legal technology, systematization characteristics. Subjects of law-making process are singled out. Normative acts are classified according to different grounds, a parallel is drawn with the modern hierarchy of normative acts, and historical features of their typology are highlighted. The author draws conclusions about the inaccurate classification of the main identified acts (charters) as codes, about the prevalence of legal idealism in the concept and policy of urban planning regulation. The source of fixing public relations in the form of a legal norm is the monarch’s will. In the research area it is based on the idea of an ideal city, the concept of which has evolved from the idea of regularity to a rational capitalist space. It was supplemented by proposals from the professional community at the end of the period.

Law Making

The paper is devoted to the study of law and computer algorithms as tools regulating social and technical processes. The purpose of this work is to study the possibilities of using computer code to regulate public relations, as well as the impact of this process on traditional legislative procedures.The paper puts forward the thesis that computer code regulating technical processes can be used to a certain extent in the legal sphere of activity. To use computer code in law making, it is necessary to define the scope of legal regulation, develop an appropriate programming language and adopt a system of internal and external code audit measures that will ensure transparency, legality of the code and, as a result, public confidence in the adopted normative legal acts.One example is smart contracts used in certain areas. The authors have studied various approaches to the definition of the term "smart contract" and formulated an integrative definition of this concept. When using a smart contract in the legal sphere, this term should be understood as a legally binding contract drawn up in the form of computer code and supported by appropriate legal remedies.In this paper, the authors investigate the possible consequences of using computer code in law making and propose a number of additional measures (requirements) to the procedure for adopting regulatory legal acts. The authors summarize that law is to a certain extent an algorithm, which means that the same methods can be used to regulate public relations that are used in the technical sphere to fix the sequence of various operations.

The legal compromise is an effective tool for the prevention and resolution of important social conflicts. The prospects of its practical use depend on the completeness of scientists and lawyers ideas about its essence, functions, place in the mechanism of legal regulation, etc. Among such issues, a special place is occupied by the problem of types of legal compromise. It should expand and systematize the information accumulated by modern legal science about it, serve as a general theoretical prerequisite for future scientific research. The system of knowledge, reflecting its main types, allows to clarify the scope of legal compromise, the order of its use, the specifics of the impact on public relations. In this regard, the construction of a classification of legal compromise is an urgent task of modern jurisprudence.
