Petyukova O.

摘要

Goals / objectives. The article is devoted to topical issues of the characteristics of the legal content of the activities of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The aim is to study law enforcement activities in the field of pensions, which is the main function of the PFR based on Russian legislation. In the context of the designated purpose of the scientific article, the concept, principles, stages of pension law enforcement are revealed. Methodology. The study used methods of analysis and synthesis, dialectical, systemic, comparative legal, statistical and others. The statistical data on the number of pensioners registered with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the average amount of pension provision are presented. Conclusions. The author notes that the performance by the Pension Fund of Russia of the function of providing pension provision has a socially significant character. The quality of law enforcement activities in the field of pension provision affects the quality of life of a particular person - a pensioner, whose main income is often his pension. Pension law is commonly viewed as a sub-sector of social security law. Since imperative methods of regulation prevail in the regulation of public-law pension relations, the principle of legal certainty is of particular importance in order to ensure and reliable protection of the pension rights of citizens.

Khokhlova E.

摘要

Separately, the inclusion of speech culture communication in the list of necessary skills and abilities of the mediator in the performance of his or her professional activity is considered. Conclusion. As a result of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that the interweaving of alternative forms of conflict resolving into national legislation in different countries does not occur equally intensively. It is noted that the development of alternative forms of dispute resolving is not possible without the development of improving speech communication, its culture. In many European countries, speech culture has been a component of the national tradition, requiring the preservation of its identity and the development of a qualitative basis. The development of speech communication culture in alternative forms of legal disputes and conflicts resolving in different countries depends on the trajectory of development

Joining of the North-Western Caucasus (the Western Circassia) into the Russian Empire under the Terms of the Treaty of Adrianople, 1829

Shaov I.

摘要

The purpose of the study is to reconstruct the process of the annexation of the North-Western Caucasus (Trans-Kuban Circassia) to the Russian Empire, the legal basis of which is based on the Adrianople Peace Treaty on September 2 (14), 1829. The territory that was previously under the jurisdiction of the Ottoman Empire, but was not placed under Russian military control during the Russian-Turkish war of 1828-1829, ceded to Russia. In the text of the Treaty of Adrianople, this territory is not described in either political-legal or geographical terms. Despite the fact that the abandonment of the Western Circassia by the Porte became the most important territorial acquisition for Russia, obtained under the Treaty of Adrianople. The non-recognition of the Treaty of Adrianople by Circassians drew the attention of the British government and parliament to them, making it possible to actualize the “Circassian question” as an important component of the “Eastern question”. As a result, a significant publicistic literature arose, challenging the rights of the Russian Empire to the North-West Caucasus (D. Urquhart, K. Marx, etc.). This article substantiates the competence of the Ottoman government to transfer the North-West Caucasus to Russia, since: 1) Circassians recognized themselves as Ottoman subjects through the institution of oaths and recognition of the power of the Ottoman governors; 2) the presence of the Western Circassia in the Ottoman Empire was recognized by Russia under the Treaty of Jassy. The specificity of the annexation of the Western Circassia to the Russian Empire is that, unlike Abkhazia and the Georgian states, there was no “request” for Russian citizenship.

Soviet Party Constitutionalism as a Subject of Source Study of the History of Political and Legal Doctrines

Korovin K.

摘要

There are many research problems and directions in the history of political and legal doctrines. In addition to political writings and treatises, Soviet party constitutionalism occupies a significant place in Russian political and legal thought. It is a historical source that reflects the activities of the Communist Party in the constitutional and legal sphere of society. In Russian jurisprudence, this source has been developed and studied in detail since the emergence of the Soviet state. Many concepts and approaches have been put forward and developed. One of the objectives of the article was to systematize in chronological order the views of jurists on Soviet party constitutionalism and to show continuity with modern theoretical and legal developments. In addition, it was important to find out that the essential component of all party constitutionalism was the ideological positions of K. Marx, F. Engels, V. I. Lenin, as well as some other ideologists of the Communist Party. It was shown in the article that throughout the entire period of the existence of Soviet party constitutionalism, these ideas were the core, the system-forming principle. As a result, it was possible to understand that the principle of partisanship began to guide the entire legal system of the state. Ideology has become a real tool for the representation of constitutionalism on various strata of Soviet society.

Barashkov E., Pyatkin V.

摘要

The aim of the study is to analyze the views of thinkers of different historical eras on the idea of separation of powers, highlighting the features and main characteristics of such views in order to build the evolution of the concept under study and predict the further development of the phenomenon of separation of powers. The article examines the history of the emergence and evolution of the theory of separation of powers, analyzes the practice of applying the theory of separation of powers in foreign countries and the problems of implementing the principle of separation of powers in modern Russia. Based on the analysis of the current state of the concept of separation of powers, the authors propose to expand the classification of models of the theory of separation of powers. Results. The concept of the separation of powers has always been a powerful tool to impact on state development, the formation and operation of the public power system in many modern states; it is the most important constitutional principle, called s one of the signs of the legal state. And this is despite the fact that in legal science there are still disputes about the essence of the concept of separation of powers, about its significance in the progressive development of the public power system, about the number of powers, about the relationship between the principle of separation of powers and the principle of unity of state power, etc. The classical theory of separation of powers cannot be understood as something frozen in time. She is no stranger to development and improvement. Throughout its history, this concept has proven its flexibility, versatility, and ability to various modifications. The concept of separation of powers is constantly evolving and adapting to the objective needs of the development of society and the state, trying to match the modern processes of complication of socio-economic and political-legal relations in the state.

Judicial Protection of the Right of the Population to Territorial Self-Organization in the Russian Federation: Assessment of Current Practice

Umnova-Koniukhova I., Popova S.

摘要

Purpose of the study. The article examines topical problems of judicial protection of the population's right to territorial self-organization. This research seems to be relevant in connection with the problems that have arisen in practice, which require a comprehensive substantiation of the constitutional content of the population's right to territorial self-organization and an assessment of the existing judicial practice of considering territorial disputes in the system of local self-government in the Russian Federation. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the provisions of Federal Law No. 131-ФЗ as amended by Federal Law No. 87-ФЗ dated 05/01/2019 and the judicial practice of recognizing a decision of a representative body as a form of consent of the population to change the boundaries of municipalities contradicts the constitutional right of the population on territorial self-organization. Such forms of democracy as a local referendum, general municipal discussion by the population or a general municipal poll should have an advantage, which will maximize the involvement of residents in resolving issues of the territorial structure at the municipal level.

Legal Regime: An Interdisciplinary View

Malaya T., Malyy A.

摘要

The article addresses issues of understanding such a legal construction as a "legal regime." The basis of any study, any discussion is uniformity in understanding the content of legal terms. When identifying the essence of a legal phenomenon, a process, it is important to define criteria that would make it possible to find a basis for their uniform understanding. The aim of the research is to identify possible approaches to understanding the legal construction of the "legal regime," to identify a criterion to show differences in understanding of the term "legal regime" and "legal status." The study is based on the views of law theorists, who laid the foundations of legal understanding. Attention is focused on the legislative use of the phrase "legal regime". The legislator, as a rule, uses the term "legal regime" in the meaning of a set of rules introduced in case of need of severe influence on public relations, special protection of the interests of subjects of law. It is noted that industry sciences have developed their own approaches to both the doctrinal understanding of the "legal regime" and the possibility of using this concept in legislative regulation. The legal construction "legal regime" has its own content, object of influence and limits of its use. These parameters give reason to distinguish between the "legal regime" of the concept of "legal status". Meanwhile, the branch sciences have developed their own approaches to both the doctrinal understanding of the "legal regime" and the possibility of using this concept in legislative regulation. The doctrine uses the legal regime in the sense of a set of rules introduced in case of need of a tough impact on social relations, special protection of the interests of subjects of law. These parameters give grounds to distinguish "legal regime" from the concept of "legal status".Attention is paid to understanding the object of the impact of the legal regime. By such objects, the authors mean property, territory, the interests of the state, society, and personality. The rationale for this understanding of the object is given.

Parliamentary Factor of Transformation of Constitutional Freedom of Expression

Gelunenko V.

摘要

In this article, the author proposes an analysis of foreign and domestic constitutional acts, with a view to reflecting in them the parliamentary factor in the transformation of constitutional freedom of expression. Initially, freedom of speech was identified with members of parliament and was expressed as a guarantee of the legislative function. The legally recognized privileges of parliamentary freedom of expression are reflected in the Bill of Rights and First Generation Constitutions. The domestic constitutional experience, on the contrary, primarily formalized freedom of speech, and secondarily, guarantees of freedom of speech and debate in parliament.

Toriya R., Konovalova Z.

摘要

The term "risk" has entered the everyday lexicon for a long time, but in economic, political and legal sciences it has been used very actively in recent decades. Here, and when conducting internal financial control, according to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 06.02.2020 No. 95 "On approval of the federal standard ... financial control"[11] among the principles of control, the risk-orientation principle is indicated, which denotes the concentration of efforts and resources in relation to the objects of control and their activities, for which the most likely occurrence of events that can cause damage to public legal education and can lead to inefficient use of budget funds, significant distortion of information about the assets of the state and local governments, obligations and financial results. That is, the regulatory document establishes a criterion according to which, during control actions, it is necessary to pay attention to those areas of financial activity in which there is a risk of damage to the state, the subject of the Russian Federation, local governments, and also are evidence that there are defects and failures in the administrative and management system of the state [7, p.77] and in the Order of the Federal Treasury dated June 1, 2021 N 173 "On approval of the Interim Guidance on the application of the Federal Treasury risk-oriented approach in the implementation of control activities in the financial and budgetary sphere" it is also noted that the need to pay attention to to those areas of financial activity in which there is a risk of damage to the state, the subject of the Russian Federation, local self-government bodies [14].

To the Question of Providing Guarantees of Rights Owners of Land Plots when Sequencing Them for State or Municipal Needs

Malysheva A.

摘要

The purpose of the study. Analyzing certain provisions of the current legislation on the seizure of a land plot for state or municipal needs, to identify the circumstances that prevent the provision of guarantees for the rights of right holders of land plots during their seizure. Conclusions. The author concludes that the legislation contains a number of provisions that impede the provision of guarantees of the rights of right holders of land plots during their seizure. These include the provision on the admissibility of withdrawal of a land plot for the purpose of constructing a facility that is not subject to mapping in territorial planning documents in circumstances where the authorized body is not required to provide evidence confirming the exclusive need to construct the facility in the public interest, as well as evidence that the facility cannot be placed in another location. In the author's opinion, the infringement of the interests of right holders may result in the adoption of decisions on the seizure of a land plot on the basis of applications by persons provided for in article 56.4 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation. 56.4 of the RF Labor Code. The author gives an ambiguous assessment of the presumption enshrined in the legislation that the right holder received a draft agreement on the withdrawal, noting that the implementation of norms on this presumption does not always allow the rights of those persons whose land plots are subject to withdrawal to be respected. The article notes the importance and need for understanding in order to further enshrine in the legislation the provisions on the obligation of authorized bodies to enforce their decisions on the seizure, the cancellation of the decision on the seizure and the legal consequences of the cancellation of such a decision, including providing for compensation for costs incurred by right holders of land plots.

Gaps in the Concept and Accounting of Floating Objects on Inland Water Transport in the Russian Federation

Krepak S.

摘要

Under present economic conditions on water transport the number of managing subjects and the variety of objects have increased. Floating objects which can be used for various purposes, not only those related to navigation, are one of them. The concept of a floating object and requirements for its operation are relatively new in the national legislation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the concept of a floating object, to define its place in the system of inland water transport facilities and to consider some issues arising in connection with the accounting of such facilities. On the basis of the investigation, the author comes to a conclusion that the present definition of a floating object is not sufficient, it does not define exactly what objects are meant, which leads to an expansive interpretation of this concept and unreasonable burdens for some owners of such objects. In particular, it is proposed to develop an official classification of floating objects in order to eliminate the problem of ambiguity, also taking into account legal norms of the European law. Also some issues of account of floating objects that cause problems in law-enforcement practice and require elimination.

Artificial Intelligence as the Author of the Work

Dragunova S., Sedashkina T.

摘要

The article studies the issues of authorship of works created by artificial intelligence. Since such works are already a regular part of our life, the problems of copyright protection of them arise in many countries of the world and may be resolved in judicial practice in different ways: for example, in some countries the exclusive right to a work belongs to an owner of an AI system, in others - a work may be unprotected by law and refers to the public domain. In this regard, the article examines well-known and rather complex cases that are related both directly to artificial intelligence and to the issues of a non-human authorship in general. Also the article considers the issues that may arise in case of artificial intelligence being declared as the author of works. So, we are talking about the problem of the exclusive rights protection terms, about issues of responsibility in case of violation of other people's intellectual rights by artificial intelligence. It seems that at this stage of the development of society, due to the lack of "strong" artificial intelligence, it would be more correct to talk about "works created with the help of AI systems". In this case the exclusive right to them should belong to a person who undertakes the necessary measures for creating the work

Proof of Guilt for Bringing to Civil Liability in the Event of a Road Traffic Accident

Nesterova T., Troitskaya E.

摘要

The article discusses the reasons why most often drivers who are involved in a road traffic accident go to court. The evidence is analyzed, with the help of which the court can establish guilt in the commission of a road traffic accident. The concept of "mutual fault" of drivers who participated in a road accident is revealed. The analysis of the degree of the driver's guilt, which can be considered by the court as mutual, is carried out. The study reflects the most interesting court decisions on this topic. The authors, as a result of the study, come to the conclusion that the most private evidence in disputes related to the establishment of the guilt of a vehicle driver is an expert opinion. In some categories of disputes, special documents may act as evidence, for example, in disputes with municipal institutions, evidence may be an act on identified deficiencies in the operational condition of the road. The authors also name other evidence that can confirm the guilt of the drivers. At the end of the study, a conclusion is presented that it is necessary to establish the guilt of the drivers in each individual case of a traffic accident, for a fair resolution of the dispute.

On the Social Conditionality of Criminal Law Norms Provided for in Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation

Borovikov V., Borovikova V.

摘要

The purpose of the publication is to show the issues of social conditionality of the establishment in Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of responsibility for preparing a person for organizing mass riots or participating in them; inducement, recruitment or other involvement of a person in committing actions, as well as the passage of training by a person knowingly for a student conducted for the purpose of organizing mass riots or participation in them. Conclusions obtained during the study. The legislator, when establishing criminal liability for preparing a person for organizing mass riots or participating in them, inducing, recruiting or otherwise involving a person in the commission of actions provided for in Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the passage of training by a person, obviously for a student conducted for the purpose of organizing or participating in them, did not fully take into account the principles of systematic criminal legislation and differentiation of criminal liability. This has led to an inadequate assessment of the public danger of the acts committed, in particular, for activities that actually constitute preparation for mass riots, for which a more severe punishment is provided than for participation in mass riots. According to the authors, this contradiction should be eliminated. In addition, the authors propose independent responsibility for calls for mass riots, as well as calls for violence against citizens (now these acts are provided for in Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The scientific significance of the publication lies in the fact that it makes a certain contribution to the criminal legal counteraction to mass riots, allows for more differentiated responsibility for various forms of this crime. The practical significance of the publication lies in the fact that it contributes to the legislative process related to the criminalization of acts in the field of public security, as well as the application of criminal law norms providing for responsibility for their commission.

The Situation and Trends of Violent Crime in the European Union

Afanasev P.

摘要

Purpose of the study. For the purpose of criminological knowledge of modern violent crime it seems necessary to carry out comparative study. It is thought that the use of the results of comparative legal research will allow to get a holistic criminological view of the state of violent crime. In this regard, trends in index violent crime in the countries of the European Union, in general, and in Germany, France and Italy, in particular, were identified as the subject of the study. The aim of the study is to determine the status and trends of selected types of violent crime in the countries of the European Union. Conclusions. The comparative study was complicated by differences in criminal legislation in the European Union countries and Russia, as well as in the reporting systems and practices of registering crimes and offenses. As a result of the analysis of official statistical data presented on the Eurostat website and data from victimization studies, it was found that during the study period from 2008 to 2019 in the European Union countries as well as in Russia [6], the lowest number of homicides was registered in 2019, with women being their victims in 36% of cases. At the same time, 2019 saw an increase in assaults and sexual violence. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 in France, against the background of a decrease in violent crime rates, there was an increase in the recorded facts of domestic violence and rape, which is explained by scientists' changes in the approach of the police authorities to the processing of claims of violence. We conclude that restrictive measures implemented in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic have had only a temporary effect on the registered part of violent crime in foreign countries, just as in Russia.

Maksimenko A., Potetinov V., Belsky A., Lashchenko R.

摘要

The article deals with the criminological model of the development of organized criminal groups in the area of drug trafficking, psychotropic substances or their analogues in the Russian Federation, its main determinants, the foundations of intergovernmental cooperation to counter these types of criminal acts. In the issue of drug trafficking, a certain vacuum was formed, which was formally a consequence of the abolition of criminal and administrative liability in the case of their non-medical (without a doctor's prescription) consumption in 1991. Both domestic and international experience prove: besides the cases of direct violence against an individual, organized crime undermines the foundations of civil society, violates the typical functioning of public authorities and order, pose a serious threat to the dignity and personal safety, especially women and children. As an integral part of state-building, a legal and institutional framework against drug abuse is gradually being created. Unfortunately up to the present day the Russian Federation has not fully overcome the crisis in the economy and social life of society, which complicates the planning and implementation of comprehensive measures to effectively combat the organized crime in the area of drug trafficking.

The purpose of the research. The article examines the grounds, principles and stages of the criminalization of acts committed exclusively by women, as one of the unique methods of criminal policy. It is noted that the basis for the criminalization of acts committed exclusively by women, the responsibility for which in the current version of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is established in Art. 106, stands for their public danger of the act. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that timely criminalization requires additional criminal legal protection not only for newborn children, but also for the introduction of interim measures to protect the fetus while still in the womb. It is noted that the next step in this direction should be the criminalization of infliction of varying degrees of severity of harm to health inflicted by a mother on her newborn child; harm to health or murder of two or more children by their mothers; forms of infanticide by the mother, burdened by premeditated intent; causing death through negligence by a mother to a newborn child in a state of intoxication caused by the use of alcohol, narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues, new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances or other intoxicating substances

Administrative Prejudice as an Interdisciplinary Institute

Zimenkova I.

摘要

The article examines a number of topical issues today related to the interpretation of administrative prejudice and its features as an interdisciplinary institution of criminal law in Russia, the problems of using administrative prejudice in qualifying certain crimes, which is due to both the development of domestic law and the policy of the state in terms of criminalization and, on the contrary, decriminalization of certain acts. The concepts of "prejudice" and "the state of prejudice" are analyzed from the point of view of the development of the legal system as a whole. The main features of administrative prejudice and their essence are determined, based on the structure of the gravamen of a charge of some crimes by the legislator. The article considers the concept of administrative prejudice as a "legal category", "legal means", "legal structure". An analysis of individual articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, containing an administrative prejudice, was carried out, during which some difficulties of their interpretation and law enforcement were identified. In the course of a comprehensive analysis of the norms of criminal and administrative law, the basic principles of the application of administrative prejudice were established in the context of the need to distinguish between administrative and criminal liability. The positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in conjunction with the main approaches to the problem of the expediency of enshrining administrative prejudice in the criminal law of Russia, at the legislative level, are considered. The main gaps in the intersectoral differentiation of responsibility are identified, and recommendations for their elimination are developed, an assessment of the possibility of introducing administrative prejudice as an interdisciplinary institution is made, and the conditions under which this institution can show its effectiveness, including from the point of view of the application of criminal law, are shown.

A Lawyer's Request is a Means of Exercising the Professional Right of a Lawyer-Defender to Collect Information Necessary to Provide Legal Assistance in a Criminal Case

Sukhova O.

摘要

The purpose of this article is the author's desire to show the imperfection of the legal regulation of the professional right of a lawyer to collect information necessary to provide legal assistance to the principal through a lawyer's request, to reveal the problems of the implementation of this right by a lawyer-defender in criminal proceedings due to its insufficient provision with the necessary legal guarantees, as well as to propose the most optimal variant of legislative regulation of the details of a lawyer's request, the timing and procedure for providing information on it, which is necessary for a lawyer's request to be a truly effective means of providing qualified legal assistance. In accordance with this goal, the author of the article comes to conclusions about the need at the legislative level to strengthen the guarantees of this professional right of a lawyer, including to provide for administrative liability for providing incomplete information on a lawyer's request, to legislate a more severe sanction of Article 5.39 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, to shorten the time for providing information on a lawyer's request, to provide for the possibility in Russian criminal proceedings for a lawyer-defender to obtain information through a lawyer's request, access to which is restricted. The article notes the need to regulate the form and content of a lawyer's request, the procedure for its registration, prohibitions for subjects responding to a lawyer's request, precisely at the level of the federal legislation of the Russian Federation, in order to exclude possible abuse of the right to refuse to provide information requested by a lawyer from these subjects. According to the author, strengthening the guarantees of the professional right of a defense lawyer to obtain information to protect the rights and legitimate interests of the principal will allow equating a lawyer's request to the request of state bodies (their officials) responsible for criminal proceedings.

Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Consideration of Issues Related to the Execution of Sentences

Mamedov R.

摘要

In the article, the author draws attention to a whole range of problems of the criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation - issues related to the execution of a sentence. Analyzing the prevailing practice, the opinions of process scientists, as well as foreign experience, the author makes proposals for optimizing the procedure for considering and resolving the issues specified in Art. Art. 397, 398 and 400 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. In particular, the author proposes the following: the law does not determine at what time the court session is scheduled and does not determine the period for considering the material. In practice, these terms are different and depend on the essence of the issue being resolved. To exclude red tape when considering this kind of materials, the author proposes to formally define and enshrine at the legislative level. The author of this article also makes a proposal to streamline the criminal procedural activities of the participants in the process in such a way that they can use their procedural powers to the fullest extent to protect their rights and legitimate interests, and also allow to establish and investigate all the circumstances related to the resolution of issues in the order of execution judgment, to make a lawful and informed decision.

Vasilieva M.

摘要

The aim of the study. The article examines the issues of the motivation of interim court decisions on the extension of a preventive measure in the form of detention. The aim of the study is to identify the level of motivation of these decisions, which is necessary to increase the level of legal guarantees for the observance of human rights and freedoms, as well as to determine the directions for improving the criminal procedure legislation and judicial practice. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the level of motivation for interim court decisions is low, which leads to heterogeneity of judicial practice and the adoption of court decisions that violate human rights and freedoms. There is a need to develop scientifically grounded recommendations and proposals for amending the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation "On the practice of applying by courts legislation on preventive measures in the form of detention, house arrest, bail and prohibition of certain actions" in order to increase the level of motivation of court decisions on the extension of the preventive measure in the form of detention.

The Importance of Interim Judgments in Criminal Proceedings

Zakaryan S.

摘要

The purpose of this study is to determine the meaning and role of interim court decisions in criminal procedural activity, their ability to influence the issuance of a legal, well-founded final court decision and the fulfillment of the purpose of criminal proceedings. The study made it possible to draw a conclusion about independent criminal procedural significance of interim court decisions, which consists in fulfilling the purpose of criminal proceedings in the course of pre-trial proceedings by creating a condition for the legal course of the investigation of a crime. Intermediate decisions ensure the rights and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings in the preparation and consideration of a criminal case on the merits in order to make a legal, reasonable and fair final decision. To substantiate the independence of interim court decisions and their ability to influence the legality of the final court decision, examples from judicial practice are given where failure to issue an interim decision is the basis for canceling the sentence and sending the criminal case for a new trial.

Amelenkov A., Vikulina M., Uskova T.

摘要

The purpose of the research: The present research aims at analyzing the structure of the legal awareness and the factors that influence its formation, considering the ways a legal stereotype appears and functions, as well as describing the details of the process of legal awareness formation in students studying legal English and legal systems of the common law countries. In the course of an associative experiment the students were asked to provide associations to stimulus words «court», «jury» and «law». The authors attempt at finding out if it is possible to speak about the interference of legal stereotypes when students study a legal foreign language. Conclusions: In the course of the experiment the authors arrive at the conclusion that while studying legal English and legal systems of common law countries, the students acquire legal attitudes, norms and values of a foreign language society. Consequently, the secondary legal socialization takes place, which is represented by emergence and fixation of foreign language legal stereotypes and legal attitudes in future Russian lawyers. The results of the experiment prove the fact that law students possess already formed foreign language legal stereotypes. It is regarded desirable to work out recommendations for foreign language stereotypes formation in case it is necessary to correct already formed legal attitudes and stereotypes in the native language.
