The aim of the legal opinions published, is to familiarize the public with the opinions of the Bulgarian Lawyers for Human Rights Foundation on different legal issues of crucial social interest.
On one hand, there will be suggested articles, lectures or interviews of different lawyers, working for our organization on different crucial questions. At the moment we recommend the article: The Reform of the Judiciary—One Step Forward, Two Steps Backwards.

Of interest are the four resolutions, prepared by Bulgarian Lawyers for Human Rights, on cases before the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bulgaria. Undoubtedly, the resolutions of this institution are of great importance not only for the legal sphere, but also for the society as a whole. In the texts presented we have analyzed the compliance of the attacked before the court regulations, with the Constitution of Bulgaria and with the European Convention for Human Rights.

In court ruling on constitutional case (c.c.) 15/2000 we supported the position that article 47 of the Foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria Act, contradicts the Constitution and the Convention, but the court left the attacked provision in force with six to six votes. We took, in the same line of action, position on c.c. 01/2001 about §6 of the Preliminary and Concluding Provisions of the State-owned Property Act and this time the court approved of our position. On c.c. 02/2001 the court approved of our position only partially: the Act for Interpretation of Article 47 of the Foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria Act was ruled out as unconstitutional. Only on one of the cases did the court agree with our position, the case on Article 53, §1 of the Election of Parliament Representatives Act (c.c 12/2001) on which our Foundation gave opinion that the provision attacked is constitutional and the court approved of it.
