The issues of the nature and law-enforcement value of administrative practices

Abstract

The present study elucidates approaches developed in the juridical science and defining legal practice as a socially significant legal activity of the participants. The authors propose their own social-philosophical and legal justification of legal (administrative) practice as a means of transforming reality. To this end, legal practice is acting as a necessary social, organizational and legal means of improving human activity in the implementation of state and municipal administration. The authors propose a social and philosophical understanding of administrative (state-administrative) practice as the result of state-administrative activities arising in the development of administrative relations and entailing the achievement of socially useful goals of state (municipal) administration in the form of an administrative legal act or repeated organizational act of the body and (or) public administration official (usages of administrative practices). In the course of the research the authors give their own understanding of forms of objectification of administrative practice when state and municipal administration is being carried out. Such forms include empirical non-normative legal act and the usage of administrative practice. The result of the study of the nature and forms of objectification of administrative practice involves the definition of its importance for law enforcement practice, which is mandatory practice for the participants of State and municipal administration when they implement internal State and municipal administration. A mandatory nature of empirical administrative legal acts for administered entities within the framework of external state and municipal administration is mediated insofar as they become participants of administrative legal relations within the framework of which the provisions of these acts are implemented. In other cases, these acts are not mandatory for the administered entities. In addition, an administered entity is not deprived of the right to act in compliance with the provisions of the law or a bylaw rather than in compliance with the provisions of a nonnormative administrative legal act that formally is not a normative legal act, but in fact it of regulatory nature. The study defines the meaning of the usages of administrative activities as one of the forms of objectification of administrative practices.
