New institutions of preventive law based on knowledge

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a legal analysis of two institutions that are not widely known in Poland, namely Amicus Curiae and Compliance, which have in common the fact that they can have a preventive effect and that they externalize themselves by creating and then presenting new knowledge in an appropriate form. As part of the description, a number of concepts relating to these institutions are established, followed by an explanation of the advantages of legal prevention and the creation of new knowledge. Finally, the author discusses, step by step, how to practically put both institutions into operation and derive organisational, image, and sometimes economic benefits from them. The publication has the merit of a number of conclusions. This includes indicating to legislators how to facilitate the commercialisation of knowledge in Poland and to obtain knowledge from the scientific community to a greater extent.
