The relative independence of social and public interests

Abstract

The social and public interest remains one of the fundamental principles and goals pursued by all legal departments. Its independence is prerequisite to its legal protection. However, the attention given to it by the jurisprudential circle is not enough. Through demonstrations and theoretical exploration, this article conducts an analysis of the independence of the social and public interests, in the hope that it can raise the attention of jurisprudential field; and proposes that the social and public interest, with its independent legal appeal, is an interest pattern which exists in parallel with the personal interest or the national interest because of the independence of society.
