“…In this scenario, alternative measures must be employed to safeguard the rights of the contracting parties. Given that the essence of a contract always involves the establishment, modification, or termination of civil legal relations between the parties, these essential components cannot be circumvented (Bayern, 2015). The process of fulfilment of agreements, from conclusion to full implementation of a contract, always goes through the stages in Figure 1.…”

The purpose of the study is to present the author's vision of a methodological approach that will allow visualising the process of public administration in the context of ensuring a high level of economic security and evaluating its effectiveness, considering the legal aspect of the issue. The methodology involves using modern methods that combine and interact to achieve the goal. These include both general theoretical methods and specific ones: IDEF3 and the integral evaluation method. The approach to assessing the level of effectiveness of public administration in the system of ensuring economic security is defined. The importance of political and legal indicators is emphasised. The results of calculating the value of the integral indicator are presented, and the corresponding conclusions are drawn.

“…Depending on the speaker's intention, these performatives can come in the form of offers, swears, acceptance, and pledges. Language of offer and acceptance has been reported to be common in legal settings as means of commitment by participants (Bayern, 2015;Tiersma, 1986). Tiersma (1986) and Kiguru (2014) claim that offering and acceptance as samples of commissive address acts cannot be an issue of expression or manifesting the intention.…”

This article investigates the trends in using commissive speech in Sulha proceedings in Jordan. Sulha focuses on a dispute-resolution system in Arab society that uses the Bedouin Arabic dialect as the primary language of communication. Qualitative and quantitative research designs involving descriptive and survey instruments were used in this study. The data for the study were collected as audio recordings of some incidents taken from Sulha samples. Some of the data are from interviews with Sulha participants and the synthesis of archived disputes related to cases previously handled by Sulha. The data analysis was done according to the scope of Speech Act theory to show the trends adopted in the Sulha tribunals in making commitments by different participants in solving disputes. This study finds that the informal legal setting in the Sulha tribunals determines the patterns exhibited by commissive speech acts and their frequencies during the Sulha proceedings. A number of eight commissive speech acts are realised in the Sulha proceedings: promise, swear, vow, threat, guarantee, warning, acceptance, and offer. The eight commissive speech acts are realised either explicitly or implicitly. The results further reveal some of the commissive speech acts can elicit other commissives, and a number of commissives can also be resultant forces of other speech acts, such as the acts of directives. The finding of this study is expected to help understand how forms of language used in the Sulha enhance the adoption and discharge of commitment during the Sulha proceedings.

The development of artificial intelligence technology has presented AGI as an exciting future potential. In contract law, AGI can change the landscape of agreements and contract execution. The existence of AGI will raise various legal challenges and questions, such as whether AGI can be a legal party to a contract, whether AGI can execute contracts effectively, and how legal responsibility AGI is in contract execution. This study aims to analyze and identify the legal implications that may arise with the existence of AGI in the context of contract law. In this regard, the research will try to understand how AGI can influence existing principles of contract law. This study uses normative research methods by collecting and analyzing relevant legal sources, including legal literature, regulations, and court rulings related to contract law. This research also involves a comparative study of existing contract law with possible future situations with the existence of AGI. The results of this study show that the presence of AGI has the potential to change important aspects of contract law. Some of the implications identified include questions about AGI's legal status as a legal subject, AGI's legal liability in the performance of contracts, aspects of the validity and interpretation of contracts involving AGI, and legal protection for parties entering transactions with AGI. This research provides a crucial initial understanding in dealing with legal challenges that may arise due to the existence of AGI in the context of contract law
