STATE OF LAW

Autor u uvodnome dijelu rasprave upućuje na povezanost uspostavljanja i obilježja tzv. pravne države i tzv. sustava prava kontinentalne Europe, da bi potom sumarno prispodobio podrijetlo same zamisli pravne države i njezinoga povijesnog okruženja. U središnjemu dijelu nudi listu vrijednosti, vrijednosnih načela, postavki tzv. pravne države, čemu slijede odgovarajuće prosudbe s tvrdnjom o zamjetnom, višeslojno/višestruko ograničenome smislu i dosegu, uglavnom dogmatskih, formalno-pravnih načela tzv. pravne drževe. Najosnovnijom prosudbom stanja tzv. pravne države u Republici Hrvatskoj autor zaključuje raspravu.In the introductory part of the essay, the author looks into the connection between the establishment and attributes of the so-called state of law and the legal system of continental Europe.

The author concludes the essay with a rough appraisal of the condition of the so-called state of art in the Republic of Croatia
