Notion of Law Systematization in Modern Legal Doctrine

Overview

Large and continuously changing bodies of legislation can accumulate conflicts, gaps, repetition, obsolete provisions, and inconsistent terminology. This study examines systematization as a purposeful legal activity that organizes normative material and improves the coherence, accessibility, and effectiveness of law.

The article compares approaches in modern legal doctrine, distinguishes the system of law from the system of legislation, and considers systematization in relation to lawmaking and legal technique. It explains why ordering normative acts is not merely a clerical task but an intellectual and institutional process needed to support reliable interpretation, application, and future codification.
