limits to be very relevant. It is necessary to identify the degree of need for departmental law-
creativeness, its boundaries and correlation with law-creativeness.
2. Methodology. This study is aimed at substantiating the objective necessity of departmental law-
creativeness, identifying the degree of its relevance in legal practice, as well as understanding the
criteria that define the boundaries of the subject matter of departmental law-creativeness. The
authors, based on the analysis of the essence of the phenomenon of "law-creativeness", tried to
identify in this complex legal phenomenon such an element (type) as departmental law-
creativeness. The position on the need to form a new model of departmental law-creativeness that
meets the new conditions and requirements of the legal regulation system is argued.
In the process of research, the authors used both general scientific (analysis, synthesis,
comparison, systematic approach, etc.) and special (formal dogmatic, interpretations, etc.) methods
of cognition. Fundamental works on the general theory of law are used, revealing the purpose and
essence of law-creativeness. The authors used a paradigm according to which all levels of legal
regulation, incl. departmental, have their role and value. The methodological basis for the study of
departmental law-creativeness was the provision on its organic connection and subordinate role to
legislative regulation. The object of the study was social relations functioning in the field of
departmental law-creativeness, as well as the system of theoretical and methodological views that
reflects them, available in domestic and foreign legal science.
3. Research results. The conclusion is argued that, according to the conceptual provisions of the theory of law-
creativeness and the modern needs of legal practice, further development of the law-creativeness
paradigm is impossible without recognizing the objective necessity and, at the same time, the strict
limitation of departmental law-creativeness. Laws regulating the most important social relations
cannot operate without acts regulating the process of implementing these same laws. Therefore, the
development of an updated model of departmental law-creativeness, which excludes
permissiveness, unlimited and lack of control of departmental rule-creativeness, becomes an urgent
theoretical and practical problem. Such a model should be based on the ideas and values of the rule
of law and accountability to civil society, it should ensure openness and transparency of the rule-
creativeness process, be not only democratic, but also high-quality and efficient.
The new model of departmental law-creativeness should clarify the concept, principles,
limits of departmental rule-creativeness, its role in the mechanism of legal regulation. It is important
to identify the features of departmental legal acts, their relationship with laws, functions and
classification criteria, specify their hierarchy, determine the guarantees of legality, and also study
the factors affecting the quality and effectiveness of departmental rule-creativeness.
The development of an updated model of departmental law-creativeness is also important
from the point of view of the problems of legal practice, because departments are often late in
implementing the provisions of adopted laws. Therefore, we consider it justified the idea of
"package preparation" of draft departmental regulations, so that by the time the adopted law is
published and enters into legal force, there is a well-developed package of necessary sub-laws [4,
120 - 124].
Another important point is the need to develop criteria that determine the limits (boundaries)
of the subject matter of departmental legal acts. It is clear that departmental legal acts cannot go
beyond the subject of regulation of the law, their specification must be strictly legal. However,
situations often arise when certain social relations are not regulated by law at all. This creates
certain problems with the assessment of the legitimacy of departmental law-creativeness, especially
if the regulation affects the sphere of human rights and freedoms. It is here that many questions
arise regarding the validity and legality of departmental law-creativeness.
