Abstract

The high volume of laws and regulations and their dispersion has become a problem in our legal system for many years. Citizens, lawyers, and even decision-makers have faced many laws and regulations, not only that the relationship between them is unclear, but sometimes they are unaware that some are obsoleted. The issue of organizing these laws and regulations, entitled “Revision” for several years, has been on the agenda of the three powers, especially the legislature and the executive power. The development of communication and information technologies and the possibility of using collective wisdom and successful global experiences in this regard, has made the use of this method of depuration as a suggestion that can be considered. But the key question is whether, basically in the legal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is it possible to use this method to revise the laws and regulations? Focusing on various dimensions and stages of revision, collective wisdom can play an important role in identifying and proposing its proper organization, but the legislation of this organization in law and regulation, according to the constitution, not only cannot be delegated out of the structure of legislative references but cannot even obligate legislator to follow the result of collective wisdom.
