In the process of legal research, private scientific methods are developed and used to study legal reality, such as the method of comparative jurisprudence, the method of interpretation (explanation) and the formal legal method. However, at the present stage of legal research, it is impossible to be limited only by these methods. Even legal scholars who consistently defend the status of dogmatic jurisprudence recognize that the application of these methods, with all their merits, sets a limiting framework in un-derstanding the practical action of positive law and the originality of its theoretical vision. Nevertheless, the application of these methods in the study of legal reality allows us to draw a conclusion about the general trends in the development of evaluative concepts that are fundamental in civil procedural law. It is offered an approach to the formation of a system of information support of procedural decision-making based on the application of fuzzy inference mechanism implemented in the logical basis of the feedforward multilayer neural network. Under this approach, a method to overcome the semantic uncer-tainty in the evaluation terms of procedural law is developed by using appropriate terms (fuzzy sets) of corresponding linguistic variables. As an example it is selected the Articles on “Violation of copyright or neighboring rights” of the Criminal Code of the Azerbaijan Republic based on which has been proposed formalism for the evaluation concept of “significant harm” in relation to the sanction applied. For mak-ing an adequate to evaluation concept notion it is proposed grading scale of possible sanctions, obtained on the basis of the description of the relevant legal norms in terms of fuzzy implicative rules.

This article discusses the application of methods to enhance the knowledge of experts to build a decision-making model based on the processing of physical data on the real state of the environment. Environmental parameters determine its ecological state. To carry out research in the field of expert assessment of environmental conditions, the analysis of known works in this field is carried out. The results of the analysis made it possible to justify the relevance of the application of analytical, stochastic models and models based on methods of enhancing the knowledge of experts — experts. It is concluded that the results of using analytical and stochastic objects are inaccurate, due to the complexity and poor mathematical description of the objects. The relevance of developing information support for an expert assessment of environmental conditions is substantiated. The difference of this article is that based on the analysis of the application of expert methods for assessing the state of the environment, a fuzzy logic adoption model and information support for assessing the environmental state of the environment are proposed. The formalization of the parameters of decision-making models using linguistic and fuzzy variables is considered. The formalization of parameters of decision-making models using linguistic and fuzzy variables was considered. The model’s description of fuzzy inference is given. The use of information support for environment state assessment is shown on the example of experts assessing of the land desertification stage.

The study analyses in detail and from a wide perspective the criminal law regulation applicable to the protection of personal secrets in Hungarian law. The author presents the historical development and comparative law context of the criminal substantive legal norms which defend personal secrets, especially in view of persons whose occupations or professions require handling such privileged information. Several norms applicable to specific professions (the clergy, the medical profession, and attorneys at law) as well as their implications in the light of the provisions of criminal and civil procedural law are also explored. The author concludes that it would be advantageous to use the expression ‘occupation’ in a wider sense and that the Hungarian Criminal Code should exemplify the secrets which often occur in everyday life and the exposure of which fits into the offending behaviour. Also, criminal and civil procedure should use the same rules for the exemption of persons bound by secrecy from having to testify as witnesses.

The scientific article reveals the key aspects of ensuring the fundamental human right to a fair trial as an object of protection of the institution of legal responsibility of a judge. It has been established that the basic principles of ensuring the human right to a fair trial are governed by the norms and provisions of such documents as: the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges», Resolution of the Supreme Administrative Court of Ukraine of 15.09.2011 No. П/9991/335/11. It was found that the object of a disciplinary offense of a judge is a set of rights and duties of a judge to the legal and fair administration of justice and the fulfillment of other duties assigned to him by the judicial and procedural legislation. It was determined that today the judicial authorities in Ukraine have adopted and put into effect the Internal Labor Regulations of Courts. The functions of a judge's legal responsibility were considered and it was found that they are implemented at the general social level (they consist in achieving control over the judge's behavior in accordance with special legal norms), at the general legal level (they consist in the restoration of rights that were violated, and compensation for expenses incurred to restore rights, as a result of the commission of illegal actions by the judge; prevention of the commission of offenses by the judge; punishment of the judge and the imposition of restrictions on his rights on legal grounds as a result of the imposition of additional legal obligations on him), the level of aggregate (general) functions of legal responsibility (consists in the fact that legal responsibility judges acts as the basis of social development and is determined under the influence of the development of legal norms) and the level of special functions of bringing a judge to legal responsibility (consists in exercising influence on the regulation of legal relations between a judge and society). It has been proven that the key functions of a judge's legal responsibility are the punitive function, protective function, preventive function and the function of ensuring the activity of the judge and his behavior in accordance with special professional standards. It is proposed to conduct a comprehensive study of the problems of ensuring human rights to a fair trial, based on the peculiarities of bringing a judge to legal responsibility for unfair, illegal and unjust in violation of the standards and requirements for fulfilling official duties, with the prospects for further research.

The goal of this research consists in comparison of the normative legal acts that regulate the questions of criminal liability for illegal implementation of medical and pharmaceutical activity in Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, and the Russian Federation. The article employs the general scientific methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, generalization. For identification of differences in the content of the corresponding legal norms, the author applies the comparative legal method, which consists in comparative analysis of the normative legal acts of the post-Soviet states. The research materials contain the norms of criminal law, as well as normative legal acts in the sphere of licensing. The novelty of this work consists in the fact that pursuit of ways to improve the national criminal law, the author assesses the possibilities of reception of certain provisions of the foreign legislation. The article explores the approaches towards systematization of crimes for illegal conduct of medical and pharmaceutical activity in the Criminal Code. The conclusion is made on the three approaches of the legislators towards establishment of origin of the object of crime. Analysis is performed on the current state of the practice of constructing criminal law sanctions of the norms on liability for illegal implementation of medical and pharmaceutical activity. The common feature of the Russian, Belarusian, Armenian, Kazakh, Azerbaijani, and Kyrgyz law consists in imposition of a fine as the basic punishment. The size of penalties are compared. It is proposed to expand the sanction of the Article 235 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with an additional penalty in form of revocation of right to hold a certain post or conduct a particular activity for a certain period of time.

The study of vandalism is a topical scientific problem. Except for the scientific interest, wide expansion of destructive activity towards the material environment of a modern city suggests study of legal regulation of vandalism. The goal of the article is to find the national specific character of legal representation and regulation of vandal activity of citizens from Russia and Brazil that has been chosen for a comparative analysis due to the high concentration of vandal damages in Brazilian cities. To achieve this goal, we carried out an analysis of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, The Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences and the Criminal Code of the Federal Republic of Brazil, Law 9.605, Law 12.408, Law 2.848 of the Federal Republic of Brazil, etc. The use of the comparative-legal method contributed to the identification of the qualification of vandalism signs as delinquent behavior. We conduct an analysis of the scientific literature describing the basics of understanding vandal behavior and its legal regulation. Also the statistical data of recent years on the law enforcement practice in relation to vandalism were analyzed. The cultural specificity of vandal activity in Russia and Brazil has distinct features in the legal regulation of this type of delinquent behavior. Brazilian experience in decriminalizing graffiti shows that this approach enables the reduction of the load on the judiciary system. In Russia and Brazil, they actively discuss the declaring of graffiti and illegal street art as a form of art that will result in the transformation of legal norms of regulation of the citizens’ vandal activity in a while. The scientific novelty lies in the comparison of norms of Russian and Brazilian legislation referred to vandalism to find out ways of its efficient prevention.

The subject of my article-based dissertation in law was decision-making in the general courts of Finland. My research aimed to describe how uniform decisionmaking is in the Finnish courts. With regard to district courts convictions of  gravateddrunk driving were the main focus of my study. The results show that there are regional differences in the sentences. Results are based on empirical legal research that draws on aspects of criminal and procedural law as well as criminology. Prior to this, only a few empirical studies had been conducted in Finland that focused on the courts and other criminal sanctioning systems. In the current dissertation, the equality and predictability of judicial decision-making at the international level where the influence of legal and extra-legal factors, e.g., offender age, on sentencing is explored. At a more theoretical level, the dissertation reflects the research tradition of legal realism. Empirical legal research will play an increasingly important role in the future. It can increase both equality before the law, as well as the transparency of decision-making and confidence in the judicial process. Data on, e.g., punishments meted out by the courts, should be kept as current as possible since information on the functioning of the legal system is important. Empirical court research provides a unique basis for discussing levels of punishment. The functioning of the legal system has a major impact on society. Empirical data, including statistics, provide a good basis for a wide range of research.1.

The aim of the article is to assess the frequency and validity of the use of the status role characteristics of the guilty person and/or the victim in the construction of special elements of crimes in the context of the issues of the redundancy of the current criminal legislation specialization as the dominant trend of its development. The empirical basis of the study is the numerical values obtained in the course of arithmetic operations to determine the dynamics of legislative changes in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the frequency of using the status role characteristics of the guilty person and/or the victim in special norms. The methodological basis of the work is the formal legal method, which allows working directly with the text of the criminal law in order to both conclude about the high dynamics of its changes and analyze new special norms, which ultimately led the author to the conclusion about the redundancy of its specialization. In addition, the method of mathematical calculations (simplest arithmetic operations), as well as other general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis) were used. Within the framework of a critical understanding of the legislative criminal legal activity for the period of 2018-2020, attention is drawn to its orientation and technical and legal side, the content of which indicates the predominance of the trend of specialization. Being natural and necessary, specialization allows reflecting the differentiation of legal relations as a process that takes place objectively, by differentiating the law. In the case of criminal law, this involves the emergence of special rules for the purpose of differentiating liability. The analysis of some of the special norms that have reappeared in the Special Part of the Code allows concluding that the legislator has chosen a casual way of presenting them, which, taking into account the high dynamics of lawmaking in criminal law, clearly indicates that the trend of specialization has acquired a redundant character. Taking into account the conclusion about the redundancy of specialization of the criminal law, it is possible to overcome it both by rejecting unjustified, reactive criminalization that simulates an active criminal policy of combating crime and by moving to unification processes in terms of eliminating terminological errors, violations of the requirements of systemic legislation, and reducing regulatory material.
