Summary/Abstract: There are four main factors determining the current trends in law: political ideology, technologies, international law, not to mention the EU law or the process of self-development of law itself. There are several trends in the development of Bulgarian law. These include the adoption and improvement of anti-corruption legislation; searching for optimal solutions to improve the organization and functioning of the judiciary; digitalization of law, including different administrative procedures, law-making process, and administration of justice, the abolition of unnecessary regulations. All those go hand in hand with modernization of the legal system by means of establishing new branches of law, new legal institutes, or by enforcing new procedural codes, while suppressing overregulation, etc. Special interest is paid to family law and criminal as they welcome new ideas. In Bulgaria international treaties which have been ratified under the constitutional procedure, promulgated and enacted for Bulgaria, become part of domestic legislation and take precedence over any provisions conflicting with them. The EU law is also a part of the Bulgarian law.
