Legal literacy, on the one hand, provides citizens with individual and group rights and is considered as an introduction to their demands and on the other hand, by identifying assignments to individuals, the predictability of citizens' lives will be better. Examination of the measures taken in the Islamic Republic of Iran’s system indicates that, although in most of the current laws and regulations, the legal literacy category has not been explicitly mentioned, but the general emphasis on the need to inform the public in some legal documents can be seen in a comprehensive interpretation including the assignment to legal information and legal literacy training. In the legislative field, it is necessary to formulate a solid legal framework and in the realm of implementation, by providing formal and informal training of legal literacy and also through active participation in civil society organizations in this field, the right to full access to it is fully ensured.
