Chukhvichev, D.V. Logic, style and language of laws.

Abstract: The problem of legislative technique is one of the key issues of modern legal studies, since effective application of any law depends on its form as well as on its contents, that is what matters is not that what law prescribes, but also how it is prescribed within the law. As the author of this article notes, formation of a legislative system as well as of any particular law calls for application of clearly defined means, which are required to express legal norms in legislation. These means include clearly set legal system, scientifically based style, and legal language, which may differ greatly from commonly used language. In this article D.V. Chukhvichev presents his views on key principles and rules for legislative texts.
