The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research Publication is a specialized journal on Administrative Law whose main approach is to critique and analyze the logic of administrative law ideas, rules, and systems. This approach is not necessarily and exclusively based on legal logic and literature, but also includes any other sciences and interdisciplinary studies that deal with law, such as the topics discussed in the Philosophy of Law, the Sociology of Law, the Legal History, the Law and Literature, the Legal Methodology, etc. each of which can solely provide a context study law and develop the knowledge of law and enrich legal systems with a comparative and extra-legal perspective.
Even though the Law as a technique or art is in the professional prehension of jurists, judges and lawyers, as a science (although nominal and imperative) is a member of the great family of human knowledge and cognition that is developing continuously and interacting constantly the human social life, so that nowadays it has gradually been pulled out of the auras of sanctification and ideological reverence and, far from the vague idealism, has been able to respond the various needs and requirements and all its functions is condensed into maintaining order and justice expected by the society.
The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research, as a scientific research journal in administrative law, has provided new opportunities to present current opinions and ideas in various legal branches, and in this regard, has published its the principles and procedures as a Legal Charter based on the following assumptions:
1- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research recognizes the Law not as a real or natural science, but as a nominal science. Therefore, renewal, flexibility, adherence to social needs, and the influence of governmental will (including legislatorial, judicial, etc.) are the characteristics of this science. The conflicts over numerating law as a technique or art, are consequent to its nominality.
2- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research considers the of legal principles formation precedent to traditional, moral, cultural, social and economic requirements of society, which are formed within an ethnic, national and extra-national background enjoying a historical process. Hence, every society has its own legal system and no system, therefore, has an eternal or sacred originality, and its historical diversity is the reason for this claim. However, some human and global principles, such as human rights or natural rights, have been agreed upon by the international community, which in turn are effective and important indicators in defining legal rules and establishing legal systems.
3- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research considers the legal system a component of social phenomena capable of being the subject of sociological and historical studies. Therefore, legal rules and systems can be considered as the most important issues and the most serious social phenomena in historical and sociological research. Obviously, the development of such studies about the legal systems is one of the factors influencing their growth.
4- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research considers the religious faith of the society and the current ideologies in it (without any evaluation) as a most important and serious source to construct the legal rules. Therefore, the reform, restoration and development of rules and legal systems, in some cases, may require the dynamism of religious concepts and cognitions, and obviously the jurists and religious scholars are responsible for it in this meantime.
5- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research considers “order” and “justice” in a human society as a long-standing need and aspiration, and considers the legal system responsible for its realization. Therefore, it considers the scientific and practical efforts and achievements of the whole human society as the most important and valuable resources to reconstruct the legal system of a country and emphasizes the exchange and interaction of knowledge and experiences between the legal and judicial systems of different societies and countries. Therefore, translating these researches is necessary and unavoidable.
6- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research considers the legal education system, the judicial system and the advocacy system as the three main environments for cultivating and processing the legal system, and considers these environments’ critical review as the most important method to evaluate the efficiency of a legal system.
7- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research considers extra-legal views and analyzes about law and legal system as the most important legal methods and emphasizes the need to develop and promote interdisciplinary studies, especially Philosophy of Law, Sociology of Law and Administrative Legal History.
8- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research considers the legal system, same as the economic system, the political system and the administrative system, necessitous to a modern management, engineering, and continuous revisions that must be organized based on the needs and requirements of the modern national and global society in legislatorial, executive and judicial contexts. To develop the country's legal system capacities, legal knowledge emphasizes the critical review and continuous criticism on the system.
9- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research, in developing legal and jurisprudential issues, emphasizes the interaction between ideas, and in the meantime, instead of affirming or denying a particular opinion, focuses on questioning and developing theoretical challenges.
10- The Journal of Modern Administrative Law Research thinks of order and justice for the Iranian society, and it depends on the critical participation of the scientific community and also wants those in charge of managing the affairs of society to attend the social realities and recognizing the daily requirements and following the expectations and administrative conscience of the society is one of its necessary and unavoidable conditions.
Research priorities
Applicable studies of administrative law, administrative proceedings, comparative law, and fundamental studies of administrative law, especially the philosophy of law, are of great theoretical and practical importance. Theoretically, the issues of philosophy of law will lead to a precise and deep understanding of law and its basic concepts. Words like justice, security, freedom, equality and the like will become clear. The relationship between each of these issues will be examined and their conflicts will be clarified.
