Theory Of Law

The article is devoted to the study of the formation of the theory of the legal system in legal science. The third stage in the development of the theory of law is characterized system, which begins at the beginning of the second decade of the XXI century. and continues to this day. t this stage, the interpenetration of ideas, provisions, conclusions about the development of the legal system within the legal sciences and areas that study the legal systems: the theory of state and law, comparative law, international law, philosophy of law is increasingly being traced. This stage is characterized by the search for answers to the question of approximation of the domestic legal system to European law; the mechanism of interaction between the national legal system and the EU legal system; features of systematization and unification of legislation at the stage of legal integration; directions of transformation and modernization of the legal system of Ukraine in the context of European integration and globalization, etc. The interpenetration of ideas and provisions largely reflects the objective process of strengthening and deepening the interaction of national and international legal systems, the inability to answer the vast majority of questions that arise in this regard, limited only to national or international law In recent years, the legal system of Ukraine, along with the traditional ones, has faced fundamentally new problems caused by external factors, including such as the establishment and consolidation of European foreign policy priorities, the search for effective legal means to counter threats to independence, national sovereignty, territorial integrity, territorial integrity, territorial integrity, energy threats, protection of citizens' rights violated as a result of annexation of Crimea, occupation in eastern Ukraine. Solving these and other problems is possible only through a comprehensive, systematic understanding, based on the achievements of the general theory of law, comparative law, international law, philosophy of law with the use of new approaches and methods, that is, within the framework of the general (universal) theory of law. The peculiarities of the development of legal science at this stage at the present day raise the question of the need to form a universal (general) theory of law as a conceptual basis of the theories of national and international law.

The article analyzes one of the main categories of comparative jurisprudence — “comparative law”. The alternative to the general legal theoretical science approach to consider comparative law as the doctrinal part of comparative law has been offered. The article analyzes Western and Russian approaches to the definition of the terms “comparative law” and “comparative jurisprudence”. The term “comparative law” is analyzed from the point of general legal methodology. The concept “comparative jurisprudence” has a broader content and together with methodological part of comparative legal science includes the components of both scientific and educational character. The author pays attention to the absence of normative content in the understanding of the term “comparative law” indicating exceptionally doctrinal legal nature of this phenomenon. The inner structure of comparative law depends on the system of formation and interaction of the objects of comparative jurisprudence. It is mentioned that this approach does not contradict in principle to the true opinion concerning the division of the whole comparative jurisprudence into general and special parts. The author emphasizes the necessity of the complex use of the terms “comparative law” and “comparative jurisprudence”. The necessity of formation of new category of comparative legal science – the “universal theory of law”, which has a supranational character has been proved. The scientific and educational approaches for distinguishing the concepts “comparative law” and “comparative jurisprudence” have been analyzed.

The two starting points for this chapter are that fields of law are inventions, and that fields matter as analytical frames. All legal systems deal with foreign relations issues, but few have a field of “foreign relations law.” As the best-stocked cabinet of issues and ideas, U.S. foreign relations law would be likely to generate the field elsewhere in the process of comparison. But some scholars, particularly outside the United States, see the nationalist or sovereigntist strains of the U.S. field, and perhaps even just its use as a template, as demoting international law. The chapter begins by asking whether this apprehension can be alleviated by using international law or an existing comparative law field to inventory the foreign relations issues to be compared. Finding neither sufficient, it turns to the U.S. field as an initial frame and sketches three types of anxieties that the U.S. experience has raised or might raise for international law. The chapter concludes by suggesting how Campbell McLachlan’s allocative conception of foreign relations law might be adapted so as to turn such anxieties about international law into opportunities.

The Law

In the course of the recent revival of the study of Comparative Law, repeated attempts have been made to define the nature and province of this branch of the law. Some writers maintain that Comparative Law represents a method of study rather than a department of legal science. They point to the fact that the technique of comparing different legal systems can be employed in almost every branch of the law and that Comparative Law, unlike the branches of positive law, does not fulfil a definite function in the life of society. In particular, writers on jurisprudence and history such as J. Bryce, Holland and Professor Jenks are inclined to subscribe to this view. Among the jurists who have made a special study of Comparative Law, Professor Gutteridge and Professor Kaden are strongly in favour of this view. Professor Gutteridge says: ‘The comparative method lends itself to the study of any branch of legal learning.’ According to Professor Kaden, it is the province of Comparative Law to disclose the points of agreement and difference in the solution which is provided by several legal systems for the same legal problem. The learned writer denies, however, that it is the function of Comparative Law to found a system of legal abstractions on the results of factual comparison. On the other hand, a number of students of Comparative Law consider their subject as a special branch of the science of law. Professor Saleilles, Professor Lambert and Professor Rabel support this view.

Theoretical Significance

The article considers the importance of comparative jurisprudence for jurisprudence in general and for international law in particular. Comparative law has steadily entered the structure of the legal sciences, taking an important theoretical and methodological place. The methodological significance of comparative law is reflected in the development of legal sciences, including and especially international law. The theoretical significance of comparative law as a legal science lies in the terminological basis that comparative law provides for other comparative sciences and studies. The authors substantiate the relevance of comparative law as a scientific direction, which is due to the growing integration and cross-border trends in law caused by globalization, within which comparative law is designed to provide a methodological and theoretical basis.

Analytical Approaches

Should state immunity from jurisdiction be denied to states that violate fundamental human rights in breach of international law? This article critically discusses three analytical approaches which can be used to answer the question at the level of international law. These approaches are derived from a review of principles of state immunity and fundamental human rights, including ius cogens. The article goes on to examine why the results dictated by these approaches at the level ot international law may not be reflected by municipal legal systems, using US domestic statutes and case law as an example of how a domestic legal system has dealt with this question.

Taxonomy, as a methodological tool introduced from natural science, brought the categorization of legal systems to comparative law.1The term ‘legal family’2is normally used as a metaphor, because it recognizes that within each grouping there are many variations. Each of the legal families is regarded as a combination of fundamental features of legal systems which have certain similarities. As an analytical device, taxonomy renders the comparison of different laws and legal institutions manageable by means of simplifying or abstracting the diverse and complicated realities of a myriad of legal systems. As a result, the concept of legal families acts as a support for legal borrowing and transplantation, as well as comprising an inevitable part of most comparative law works. Even where as few as two jurisdictions are involved, the categorization of legal families is still a useful tool for most comparative legal analysis. Assisted by the notion of legal families, comparativists can readily understand and explore an unfamiliar legal system.3Normally, such scholars tend to accept the conventional or widely accepted categorization of a particular legal system as belonging to a certain legal family. However, without detailed scrutiny of the first-hand material, distortions may arise as a result of preconceptions held at the beginning of the comparative study.4

First Time

The article aims to research the termination of rights in the mechanism of civil legal relations. The relevance of the work is expressed by the fact that the analysis of the reasons for termination of right is based on the analysis of legal facts that are realized in the process of formalization of some civil legal relations. The fol-lowing methods were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction. The nov-elty of the study is determined by the fact that the authors of the article research the causes of termination of right and the possibility of implementing this process is universal and local legal systems. The authors consider each of the principles of termination of right as an opportunity to form a qualitatively new subject of re-search and development of the local legal system. The article analyzes the general grounds for termination of rights and suggests implementation measures with consideration of international law. The practical relevance of the study is determined by the fact that for the first time not only direct forms of restriction of rights and measures to terminate them were considered, but also recommendations were developed on the details of the matter in question.

The subject of this research is the recently intensified competition in modern jurisprudence of two equally respectable scientific disciplines: philosophy of law and theory of law. The goal is to demarcate the meaning of these concepts. Their ontological status (essential significance) in relation to the existence of the law, the reflection of which they are, is also considered. Based on analysis of the existential criticism of the dominant forms of modern ideology, it is proved that the existing theories of law depend on these forms. A stable tendency in modern philosophy to return legal science to the origins of philosophical knowledge of legal reality is stated.

The balancing of rights of equal status is a question widely debated in all modern legal systems, but the complexity of western societies – increasingly engaged with the interaction of different cultures and traditions – expands its quantitative and qualitative significance immeasurably. The purpose of this book is to appraise the potential intersection between two values that are crucial in every community: religious freedom and freedom of intellectual expression. Specialists in various areas of legal science have been asked to make their contributions on this question, the result of which is a precious mapping of the open issues, convincing solutions and suggestions generated by other legal experiences, in addition to the weaknesses that undermine the legal system in force.

The article considers the Soviet dissertation theoretical and legal doctrines as a scientific category with a set of specific features. The author draws attention to the fact that the massive layer of legal theoretical knowledge known as Soviet jurisprudence and the legal teachings reflecting the evolution of Soviet law are insufficiently studied in ontological and epistemological terms. In specific, the role, place, and significance of Soviet dissertation legal theoretical teachings are lacking in the literature. Moreover, the Marxist methodology of legal knowledge, which should be used in modern educational and scientific space, lacks clear assessment. The author analyzes the most important thesis on the theory of law, which reflect the ontological and methodological foundations of the Soviet law and legal theory presented in the theses. This article lays the basis and the vector of further development of Soviet jurisprudence. These dissertation doctrines are analyzed to further use them in the scientific research of laws and trends in the development of Soviet legal thought. The results of these analyses are crucial for the history of political and legal doctrines, general theory of law, and philosophy of law and can be used in other areas of legal (including industry) science, considering their interdisciplinary heuristic potential.
