Inter-Branch Approach and the Development of Scholarly Communication in the Theory of State and Law

The article examines an inter-branch approach and the development of scholarly communication in the theory of state and law as conditions for strengthening legal certainty and the predictability of law enforcement. It argues that, as legal regulation becomes more complex, particular importance attaches to the consistency of the conceptual framework, the quality of lawmaking and legal drafting technique, and clear standards of scholarly proof when addressing legal understanding and the limits of regulation. The article notes that closer interaction between general legal theory and findings in philosophy, sociology and other humanities increases the demand for a common scholarly language and for an accurate differentiation of legal categories, especially in areas combining public-law and private-law elements. Using issues of protection guarantees and dispute settlement arrangements as an example, it emphasizes that the stability of a legal regime depends on precise definitions and intelligible rights-protection mechanisms, while scholarly communication should prevent fragmentation of schools and sustain shared standards of legal reasoning.
