The Value of Procedural Policy: Axiological and General Legal Aspects

Abstract

This article examines the problems of identifying the values of procedural policy from theoretical and applied perspectives. Rooted in the general axiological principles of law, the values of procedural law guide law enforcement toward achieving positive outcomes by effectively resolving conflicts and disputes among the parties of legal procedures. It was shown that the values of procedural policy are best described by the axiological approach, which highlights its focus on meaningful, effective, rational, fair, and reasonable actions that align with the higher purpose and value of law. The conclusion was made that, in accordance with the strategies of legal axiology, procedural policy should be based on the doctrinal principles of legal science to enhance the efficiency of legal activities and uphold the value of lawmaking and law enforcement, including the administration of law, within today’s legal framework. The value of legal procedural policy was found to lie in setting new axiological standards, primarily associated with the dynamic development and use of new information technologies in legal practice. The value of jurisprudence in systematizing the legislative process and law enforcement was explored, thereby affirming the axiological nature of legal procedural policy.
