Implementation of the legal security principle calls for a new approach to improvement of criminal law, criminal procedural law, and legislation on investigation activity, as well as to their application for the purpose of fighting crime.

Otherwise, a mistake in a particular criminal case may in the end cause harm to the legal security of a state, so even more caution and attention is needed in each case…

Scope of customary law is one of the most complicated issues in the sphere of international law.

In D.G. Samkharadze’s article one can find analysis of nature and characteristics of customary law norms, study of positions of leading Russian and foreign legal scholars, and of international practice.

Abstract:
In this article D.A. Koshelev studies legal reform, which was held by the national-socialists, who came to power in Germany in 1930s. The reform changed the court system and court procedure, criminal and criminal procedural law, legislation on citizenship. As a result of this nazi reform, which also included change of direction of development of legal science, status of judge and lawyer, new sphere of law - racial law was formed and it was intermingled with the law on citizenship and criminal policy, which was clearly punishment-oriented and aimed to set the nazi hegemony. Judicial process gained very subjective character and became just a “bureaucratic formality” which took place before “enemies of the nation” and “unreliable ones” were destroyed.
