Title: THE METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS MONITORING
Abstract: Managed to achieve minor results in the development of the conceptual and methodological framework, and the implementation of legal monitoring in the mechanism of making and implementing laws. This process stimulates the development of a new direction in legal science, which is designed to provide practice necessary knowledge and recommendations on organization and conduction of legal monitoring. The issues of methodological support of the monitoring process in the scale that can give noticeable results, need priority attention. The monitoring should cover all stages of legal rulemaking: public authorities, local governments, all sectors of socio-economic life of the country and the law enforcement system. Considerations on the methodology of legal monitoring are reduced to the formation of positive theoretical knowledge about the development of the concepts, objectives, principles, actors, stages, methods and the like. Assessment as an essential component of legal monitoring, on the one hand, is an important and, at least in some areas, the traditional element of the sociology of law. On the other hand, it is also an essential part of legislative methodology. Unlike legislative drafting, it rather includes the material, substantial aspects of the legislation than its formal aspects and primarily concerns the relationship between normative contents and their consequences in social reality, in «real world». Methodological support evaluation of the effectiveness of legal acts in the process of legal monitoring should be based on both General criteria and specific indicators, reflecting the parameters of implementation of regulatory requirements. Legal parameters of efficiency are caused by a number of factors: the historical aspect; time space; development of public relations in relation to the measurement of the legal reality, of economic development; terms of the mechanism of legal regulation. Legal monitoring contributes to the development of effective legislation. This defines the urgency of developing its methodology, because of its scientific validity and accuracy, largely depends the accuracy and reliability of the results of legal monitoring. The relevance, comprehensiveness, scientific validity and feasibility of regulations are the main ideological principles of the legal monitoring. The basis for these principles is the combination of theoretical legal science, positive experience in legislative drafting and quality assurance of the assessment regulations. In this regard, it is necessary to create an automated system of legal monitoring to establish organizational and logical structure of the work at a higher level of Analytics and evaluation. The system of monitoring of normative legal acts and practice of their application is becoming a key issue of providing adequate awareness among parliamentarians and the public about necessary limits to the improvement of the legislation.
