Egorov, A.V. Law doctrine in the capacity of Comparative law.

Abstract: Analysis of legal doctrine as belonging to traditions of a certain legal family allows both a legal scholar and a legal practitioner to work with legal materials more effectively. In this article A.V. Egorov proves that correct understanding of form and content of a legal doctrine as belonging to a certain legal family is a “must” for correct application of law and understanding of foreign legal traditions. In this article the nature of a legal doctrine, its main functions and its difference from legal theories are studies. The author also pays attention to the existing classification of legal doctrines.
