The legislative process and the rapid adoption and amendment of laws raise issues of legislative effectiveness. This master's thesis analyses the Lithuanian legislative process at the jurisprudential and legal levels, examining the necessity of a properly conducted impact assessment of the legislative process and the impact of legal regulation, revealing the specifics of the Lithuanian legislative process and the impact assessment of legal regulation. The development of economic law analysis, the directions of normative and positivist approaches to economic law analysis are discussed. This work reveals the existence of the possibilities of applying the interdisciplinary nature of law and economics through the perspective of economic law analysis by discussing the links between the normative and positivist approaches and the legal regulation of the Lithuanian legislative process and impact assessment of legal regulation. The study of the above-mentioned links reveals the existence of opportunities for the application of the body of knowledge of economic law analysis in the Lithuanian legislative process, including the preconditions for the application of economic law analysis in the legislative process and in the impact assessment of legal regulation. The ideas of Jeremy Bentham and Richard Allen Posner, their features and the possibility of using these ideas as complementary instruments in lawmaking are discussed. It analyses the results of research in the public domain on the legislative process. As a complementary tool for legal theorists and practitioners, the ideas of economic legal analysis are revealed as a useful tool in legal science and practice, both in terms of broadening the economic understanding of the legislator and in terms of incorporating the ideas of economic legal analysis into the legislation governing the legislative process. |
