Grishina, E.P. Special knowledge as a key characteristic feature of informed persons.

Abstract: Modernization of the judicial and investigative practice created new opportunities for the use of special knowledge of specialists (informed persons) in order to establish circumstances of particular cases. At the same time there’s a number of problems related to definition of special knowledge, since phylosophical and linguistic definitions fail to reflect legal specifics of this term. The article by E.P. Grishina is devoted to above-mentioned problems.
