Traditionally, the focus in the legal field has been on the past. Lawyers, legislators and judges have responded to shortcomings, delays, and failures to comply with legal requirements through legal remedies. This Abstract presents a glimpse of a different view, one where the focus is on the future and on success rather than failure. The approach specifically called proactive law emerged in the Nordic countries in the late 1990s. The importance of exploring this approach further was recognized in 2009 in the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on the Proactive Law Approach published in the Official Journal of the European Union in all EU languages.
