Abstract

Even though in the works of legal scholars, some notions regarding the characteristics of legal norms are included, the systematic approach to this issue has been established in this century. The necessity to investigate characteristics of legal norms, good legal norms, and qualified legal norms, is raised from the practical experience influencing the thoughts and opinions. As a tool for the adjustment of human communication, law is meant to follow goals such as limiting the power, fighting despotism and defending citizens’ rights. Yet, the law itself is encountered with deficiencies hindering it from achieving the goals. The contemporary scholars have put efforts to resolve the deficiencies to introduce the “law” as the true useful tool for society. Investigating the deficiencies and solutions has formed thoughts regarding the “quality of law”. In the present study, the bases and necessity of such investigations and studies is discussed. The present account of writing is divided into three sections: the essence and goals of investigating “quality of law”, necessity and reasons for investigating the issue, and the similar terms and definitions used erroneously as the quality of law.
