Abstract

The 2026 Law on Legal Dissemination and Education (Law No. 12/2026/QH16), adopted by the National Assembly on August 23, 2026, and effective from March 1, 2027, replaces Law No. 14/2012/QH13. Through analysis and comparison with the 2012 Law and related legal documents, this article identifies the key new provisions of the 2026 Law and examines several issues arising from its implementation. These include the development of implementing regulations, verification of legal data, artificial intelligence governance, personal data protection, reform of effectiveness assessment, and resource allocation. The article proposes integrating data standardization with human verification responsibilities, improving the transparency of legal sources, and shifting the focus of evaluation from activities to outcomes and impacts.
