Abstract

The Iranian Revolution has affected the Iranian society from various perspectives, and one of the areas that has experienced a major impact is the legal system arising out the Revolution. A transparent and clear sample of this impact is the emergence of so-called "revolutionary institutions" that are enshrined in many current laws and regulations in the Islamic Republic of Iran and has made changes in this area.
legal experts and university professors have never commented on the definition, nature, examples, and necessity of establishing and continuing the existence of such institutions. Using the descriptive-analytical method, the present article concludes that in general, if an institution is established to achieve the goals of the Islamic Revolution and to protect these goals. it will be considered a "Revolutionary institution" provided that this Institution is not a common structure of the Government. In addition, in terms of legal nature, it may include any large or small institution that exists in the legal structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but the legislature does not consider this generality and when it uses the term of "Revolutionary Institutions", it means micro-institutions and executive institutions of the country, which are often of a non-governmental public nature, and in some cases they are a state institution.
It is worth mentioning that at present, despite the similar missions of these institutions and their parallel work in practice and the subsequent structural inflation, the reorganization of such institutions will be inevitable.
