A Study on Role of Legal Institutions towards Economic Development

Author : T Yabaes and Dr. MD Chinnu

Abstract :

This project examines the role of legal institutions in promoting and sustaining economic development. Legal institutions such as courts, legislatures, regulatory bodies, and enforcement agencies form the backbone of an effective governance system. They ensure the rule of law, protect property rights, and enforce contracts, which are essential for economic stability. A strong legal framework creates confidence among investors and encourages domestic and foreign investment. The study highlights how efficient dispute resolution mechanisms reduce transaction costs and economic uncertainty. It also analyses the impact of judicial independence on economic growth and market efficiency. The research concludes that law and economic development are deeply interconnected.
