The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the administrative and legal foundations of service in the bodies of the State Enforcement Service of Ukraine in the context of ensuring the effective compulsory enforcement of court decisions and the implementation of the rule of law principle. The relevance of the research topic is обусловлена by the increasing role of the State Enforcement Service bodies in ensuring the binding execution of court decisions as an essential component of the rule of law and effective judicial protection. The effectiveness of state enforcement officers’ activities largely depends on the quality of administrative and legal regulation of civil service in these bodies. At the same time, the current legislation is characterized by fragmentation and inconsistency between general civil service regulations and special legal acts in the field of compulsory enforcement of decisions. The purpose of the research is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the administrative and legal foundations of service in the bodies of the State Enforcement Service and to identify the specific features of legal regulation of the main stages of civil service. The article analyzes the system of regulatory legal acts governing entry into civil service, performance of service, career advancement, evaluation of official performance results, and professional development of state enforcement officers, as well as determines the role of acts of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in detailing the relevant procedures. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in a comprehensive administrative and legal analysis of service in the bodies of the State Enforcement Service as an integral institution of public service and in identifying systemic problems in the correlation between general and special legislation regulating service relations of state enforcement officers. The practical significance of the obtained results consists in the possibility of their application in improving the regulatory framework governing service in the bodies of the State Enforcement Service, in the law enforcement activities of the bodies of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, as well as in the educational process in teaching administrative law–related disciplines.
