Abstract

The modern State faces an inflation of laws and other regulations. Many of them are imperfectly, even badly done. ‘Legistics’ or ‘legisprudence’ as research, teaching and learning of law-production tries to reduce quantity and improve quality of norms. It deals with analysis of norms, organisation and procedure of norm setting, content of law, legislative techniques and properly monitoring effective implementation of regulations. ‘Legislative Science’ wants to contribute to ‘better regulation’ as essential element of ‘good governance’. This paper presents a survey of problems and possible solutions of legislation, mainly – although not exclusively – under legal aspects of the Constitutional State of the Western Tradition, as imprinted by Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law.
