Abstract

In preparing the macro-policies of the judiciary, it is imperative to consider the macro-policies of the state in order to have a horizontal alignment with all the policies of the country. Accordingly, the current study aims to investigate the implications of macro-policies of the state in the macro-policies of the judiciary. Therefore, first, all the 15 macro-policies of the state from 2010 to 2016 are analyzed, and then the implications of each in the judiciary sector are investigated. Putting aside the repetitive implications, the findings were categorized into 13 statements. As the judiciary sector has a preventive approach, some of these statements were related to education in public, legal, and judiciary issues (improving culture and legal knowledge for the society), improving the judiciary indexes, improving business environment, and entrepreneurship, taking social issues into consideration.
