For jurisprudence (doctrine and practice), the fundamental question of the principles of the nature of law is at the same time the question of the normative (special-legal) composition of law, the structure of its normative “substances" or a set of legal regulators. From the position of dominant views, legal regulators a priori recognize norms, or legal rules that are positive in legislation. This paradigm, which remains unshakable, is the basis of the assessment mechanism, the formed stable attitude to understanding the forms (sources) of law, the practice of making law enforcement decisions in situations of lack of legislation, as well as emerging defects in legal regulation, the need (validity) of the applicable norms. Rooted in Russian jurisprudence understanding of the principles of law as legal ideas” or more “general norms”, while the latter are not presumed as a legal basis for making individual legal decisions in resolving specific cases, is hopelessly outdated and does not correspond to the needs of developing practice. A paradigm change regarding understanding the structure and composition of regulators of law objectively requires a solution to an issue of fundamental importance, a kind of sui generis, the answer to which the pillars of philosophy and theory of law tried to answer (L.A. Hart, R.ºDvorkin, M. van Hook, R. Alexi, etc.): whether the law consists only of norms or are they a part of this whole; whether the norms of law are always perceived by law enforcement authorities, primarily by the courts, as the only legal basis, given that the norm to be applied is either absent, or differs in legal uncertainty, inconsistency, that is, is invalid.

The relevance of the article is that the effectiveness and efficiency of interaction between forensic agencies and law enforcement agencies depends on many factors, one of which is a properly "constructed" system of legal acts. At the same time, the special nature of the interaction of these entities, the attraction of its content to the administrative and legal sphere, as well as the specifics of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies in general necessitates a detailed review of legal principles in this area and determining the place of administrative and legal regulation. The purpose of the article is to establish a system of legal bases for the interaction of forensic institutions with law enforcement agencies, as well as to determine the place of administrative and legal regulation among them. It is established that the legal basis of interaction of forensic institutions with law enforcement agencies is a system of regulations and their provisions governing the legal status of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies, as well as the content and procedure of interaction of these entities. It is proved that administrative-legal regulation is a type of branch of the general-legal category of legal regulation, which occurs with the help of administrative law and determines the impact of law on public relations of a special nature arising from the activities of public administration. That is, we are talking about the relationship of power and management influence that prevails in the work of public authorities, local governments and so on. This is a purposeful, comprehensive, streamlining impact of law on public relations in the sphere of government, which occurs through the rules of administrative law, which are part of the system of legal principles outlined above. It is emphasized that the legal basis for the interaction of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies have an administrative and legal basis, which is expressed in a large number of rules of administrative law, enshrined in regulations of various legal force. This situation is due to the fact that the norms of this branch of law determine: the administrative and legal status of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies; functions, powers and tasks assigned to law enforcement agencies and forensic institutions; mechanisms of interaction of forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies in performing their functions defined by law; organizational and practical goals of this interaction; etc.

The issue of regulatory and legal support for the use of coercion by authorized entities, as well as the grounds for the application of coercive measures by such bodies have been studied. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that the legal regulation of law enforcement agencies to apply coercive measures is carried out by a certain system of legislation, consisting of a large number of regulations that differ from each other in many ways and is a hierarchical system based primarily on the Constitution of Ukraine. At the same time, the legal grounds for the use of coercion by law enforcement officers are enshrined in the hypotheses of the norms of only certain regulations - the Laws of Ukraine "On the National Police", "On the National Guard", "On Pre-trial Detention", "On the Military Law Enforcement Service in Armed Forces of Ukraine ”as well as the Criminal Executive Code of Ukraine. The rest of the laws, although giving law enforcement officers the right to apply force, contain blanket rules that refer to the above three regulations to clarify the legal basis for their application, mainly to the Law on the National Police. It is also determined that the limits of harm caused by a law enforcement officer during the appli-cation of coercive measures must be commensurate with two factors: first, with the potential for danger to law enforcement interests (legal basis), and secondly, with the situation in which turned out to be the subject of coercion during the elimination of the specified non-security (factual basis). These two factors, combined, are nothing more than a complex basis of harm to the offender. And the actions of law enforcement officers will only be morally justified and permitted by law if the damage they caused is commensurate with both factors of the cause that caused it, ie the reason for the damage. The article expresses the opinion that the researched issues reflect the opposition of public and private interest, which is solved using the universal principle of proportionality. It is in this way that the legal regulation is carried out, where the legislator approaches the infliction of harm as a result of the use of force in a differentiated manner.

The article observes public interests, firstly, as a social regulative system in the Russian law, and secondly, as a scientific conception of law in legal science. It also researches possibilities of building legal constructions based on public interests with an aim to improve the legal regulation. Basing on the general theory of law and administrative law, the authors analyze: 1) the essence and grounds of public interests; 2) transformation of the Russian historical-theoretical conceptions of public interests; 3) modern interpretations of the phenomenon of public interests in the Russian legal doctrine, legislation and judicial practice; 4) some differences in the Western and Russian conceptions of public interests; 5) separate legal mechanics based on public interests. I.e. the authors talk about objectivating public interests, defining its forms of appearance and possibilities of implementation in the Russian society, law and state. Nowadays categories «public interest», «state interest», «social interest», «general public interests» as well as similar ones are widely used in the Russian legal science, law-making and law enforcement. The problem of its defining as well as identifying public and state interests is still not solved. The article emphasizes the absence of legal definition of public interests in the Russian legislation what causes its use as an evaluation category in the law enforcement practice. This follows by uncertainty in the legal regulation. From other side the term remains flexible and movable, helps coordinate moral and legal content, allows take into account specificity of public interests in each and every case. The article observes position of the Constitutional Court of Russia which defines correlation between public interests and similar categories, e.g. general interest. According to the authors’ opinion, public interests form legal mechanics uniting legal principles, institutes and rules. Examples of such mechanics are corporate-public regulation and public-private partnership.

The paper analyzes the issues related to irregular working hours, which arise due to the lack of proper legal regulation of this legal category. The author emphasizes that the inclusion of the irregular working hours provision into the employment contract is primarily determined by the employee’s labor functions, since it is the performance of this labor function that conditions particular working hours as the regular working hours may be not enough. In addition, the paper highlights the problem of the permissibility of establishing irregular working hours for pregnant women and persons for whom reduced working hours are established. The author concludes that the spread of the rule regarding the possibility of drawing a parallel between the restrictions provided for by Art. 99 and 101 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation currently has no legal basis. In this regard, the author attempts to find ways to resolve this problem. The paper identifies controversial and ambiguously resolved in law enforcement issues that arise when resolving labor disputes related to the termination of an employment contract with an employee who is at work in a state of alcoholic, drug and other kind of intoxication, outside the established duration of working hours. For the purpose of uniform application of the current legislation, it should be assumed that for workers with irregular working hours, all the time they are at work is considered work time.


The article is devoted to analysis of judicial rule-making activities performed by courts in Russia. Interpretation activity of the judiciary is not limited by understanding the sense of a legal rule, but also includes creation of specific legal rules. In the author’s opinion, legal constructions designed by courts (especially in private law) could be neither laws nor interpretation acts. But they bind the lower courts and have a special content. Considering the courts’ interpretational activities as a rule-making process is a new theoretical approach to the legal regulatory mechanism changing over time. Bringing the examples from court practice, the author shows that provisions of higher courts decisions can be used as a base for creation of new legal rules and their incorporation into normative legal acts (e. g. the Russian Civil Code). The author states that performing rule-making activity by courts is inevitable. The legislator and the judiciary do not oppose each other but do mutually enrich law-making and law-enforcement activities.

We consider procedural and legal problems of ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of the rehabilitated person in criminal proceedings. The purpose of the work is to study the problems of industry affiliation of the rehabilitation institute, the grounds for rehabilitation, and analyze the phi-losophical and ethical categories that make up the legal basis of the rehabili-tation institution. We analyze the legislative regulation of the rehabilitation institution and identify contradictions in the current legislation in the studied sphere of legal relations, as well as focus on the possibility of violating the rights and legitimate interests of rehabilitated person stipulated by law. The methodological basis of the study consists in the use of traditional general logical and special legal methods – logical, formal and legal, analysis and generalization of law enforcement practice. We propose the author’s concept about the nature and legal nature of the rehabilitation institution as an inter-disciplinary institution, which consists in the fact that rehabilitation consists in the idea of complete innocence. A literal (adequate) interpretation of the concept of rehabilitation in this case means the presence of three key ele-ments: 1) the criminal prosecution of a person was unfair (illegal, un-founded); 2) the application of measures of criminal procedural coercion and (or) criminal punishment to him was illegal (unreasonable); 3) there were no grounds for prosecuting him, or there were grounds for excluding him. The study allows us to conclude that the rehabilitation institution of innocent needs further improvement, based on its thorough legal regulation, since, be-ing an interdisciplinary institution, it can ensure the observance and respect of the rights and freedoms of individuals and citizen only if the contradictions in the current legislation are eliminated.
