Law and the jurist are two inseparable concepts. But what is law? What does it mean, have you ever wondered?
The word law originates from the Arabic root "hak" and is known as the plural of the word hak (a common misconception). In Arabic, the plural of the word "hak" is "ah'kak". According to the Turkish Language Association, the word law means "the entirety of laws that regulate society and determine the state's coercive power". Besides this, law also has the meaning of "rights".
In a metaphorical sense, the word law is also used to mean friendship, camaraderie. Just so you know, but it's not related to our topic right now, of course.
Now, within the scope of fundamental rights and freedoms, the logic is so simple that if you are not restricting my living space, my living standards, my rights and freedoms, and not oppressing me, and I in turn respect these towards other people, then fundamentally we are applying the best state of law. Law fundamentally defines people's areas of freedom; in a way, we can call it a sphere of life. The concept of the rule of law, which developed in our country in the early 1990s, can be taken as a milestone. Looking at the previous years, we can say that we have just begun to emerge from a complete medieval darkness where the rich oppressed the poor, the strong oppressed the weak.
When we think about why some concepts that settled in Europe with the Renaissance took so long to settle in our country, we can identify the constantly acting negatively, appointed rather than elected administrators.
