The Rule-Making: From Juridical Technique to Legal Architecture and Engineering

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibilities and prospects of the transition from theoretical and legal concepts of legal technique and technology to the doctrine of legal architecture and engineering in the field of rule-making. Such a transition is due to the intensive process of digitalization of public relations, including in the field of law-making, which, changing traditional forms of rule-making and translating them into digital reality, requires the development of an appropriate legal doctrine. A theoretical consideration of the rule-making process as legal engineering will not only significantly update its legal doctrine, but also see and explain the qualitative changes in it due to the possibilities of using innovative technologies. The aim is to form a theoretical and legal understanding of normative legal engineering as a result of the evolution of legal technology, legal technology and legal engineering, taking into account the availability of modern digital space and innovative tools. The research methods are based on a general scientific dialectical methodology that allows us to consider legal engineering in rulemaking in its dynamics and interaction with related phenomena (engineering, technology, engineering). The methods of formal and dialectical logic, ascent from the concrete to the abstract, from the abstract to the concrete, as well as such categories of dialectics as cause and effect, possibility and reality are used. Private scientific methods of cognition (historicallegal, formal-legal, comparative-legal) are applied. Results: a study of the evolution of the development of the doctrine of legal technique and technology has shown that it currently needs a new perspective and perspective to describe the process of rulemaking in modern digital reality. Conclusions: digitalization and informatization of public relations and social communications will inevitably change all spheres of human activity, including rule-making. The concept of legal engineering will allow us to describe the features of "electronic" rule-making, and at a practical level — to accompany rule-making at all stages — from the formation of the “idea of the law” to its recognition as invalid using modern technologies and processes (automation, robotization, artificial intelligence, etc.).
