Abstract: The research subject of this article is the features and patterns of the use of an interdisciplinary approach to modern scientific research in the field of law. The relevance of this problem and the need to study the patterns of using an interdisciplinary approach in the field of law is because, on the one hand, it is becoming increasingly widespread in the legal sciences. On the other hand, the "inept" use of an interdisciplinary approach in the field of law can lead to a significant decrease in the effectiveness of scientific research in the legal sciences and lead to difficulties in assessing the significance of the obtained research results. The purpose of this work is to identify the patterns of using this approach based on the analysis of the features of the interdisciplinary approach in modern scientific research in the field of legal sciences and to propose ways to use it most effectively in modern scientific research in the field of jurisprudence.       The scientific novelty of the conducted research is as follows. During the analysis of the features and patterns of the use of an interdisciplinary approach in modern legal science, it was found that not all researchers understand the features (specifics) of the use of an interdisciplinary approach in legal research. The specificity of using an interdisciplinary approach in legal research is that an interdisciplinary approach allows us to identify common patterns of formation, development and functioning of state-legal phenomena as a variety of social phenomena. Therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of using an interdisciplinary approach in modern scientific research in the field of legal sciences, it is better to conduct research on the purely legal side of state-legal phenomena within the framework of a disciplinary approach and traditional legal methods, an interdisciplinary approach, in our opinion, should play the role of a kind of philosophical basis that does not allow the absolutization of knowledge and assumes the need for dialogue in in order to conduct scientific research more productively.

A REVIEW of an article on the topic "On the issue of the peculiarities of using an interdisciplinary approach in modern scientific research in the field of law". The subject of the study. The article proposed for review is devoted to topical issues of studying the features of "... the use of an interdisciplinary approach in modern scientific research in the field of law." The author has chosen a special subject of research: the proposed issues are investigated both from the point of view of law and from a philosophical point of view, while the author notes that "One of the urgent problems facing modern social sciences is the problem of using an interdisciplinary approach in modern scientific research." The study mainly examines various directions for the use of an interdisciplinary approach, since "... what is the essence of using an interdisciplinary approach in modern scientific research in the field of legal sciences, researchers do not unambiguously determine" and the practice relevant to the purpose of the study. A large volume of scientific literature (both foreign and domestic) on the stated problems is also studied and summarized. At the same time, the author notes that "It should be noted that the term "interdisciplinary approach" has become quite widespread in Western science [2]." Research methodology. The purpose of the study is determined by the title and content of the work and "... the author considers it necessary to analyze the features of using an interdisciplinary approach ... in order to identify patterns of use ... and, based on the analysis of these patterns, propose ways to most effectively use an interdisciplinary approach ...". It can be designated as the consideration and resolution of certain problematic aspects related to the above-mentioned issues and the use of certain experience that is present in the article. Based on the set goals and objectives, the author has chosen a certain methodological basis for the study. In particular, the author uses a set of universal, general scientific, but not specifically legal (private law) methods of cognition. In particular, the methods of analysis and synthesis made it possible to summarize and separate the conclusions of various approaches to the proposed topic, as well as draw some conclusions from the materials of the opponents. The author quotes the words "... one of the urgent problems facing legal science is the problem of understanding the phenomenon of law." In particular, the following conclusions are drawn: "... currently, discussions about the place and role of law in the life of society have intensified, as well as the problem of finding philosophical foundations for building the foundations of legal science in the postmodern era", "... in legal science, there is a need to consider the basic concepts of understanding law for building modern legal sciences ..." etc. At the same time, in the context of the purpose of the study, the formal legal method was applied in conjunction with the comparative method, especially since the author cited many scientific works by foreign scientists. Thus, the methodology chosen by the author is fully adequate to the purpose of the article, allows you to study certain aspects of the topic. The relevance of the stated issues is beyond doubt. This topic is important in Russia, from a legal point of view, the work proposed by the author can be considered relevant, namely, he notes that "Interdisciplinary research in the legal sciences is necessary and important, since they help to identify common patterns of formation, development and functioning of social phenomena in general." The author also provides recommendations and suggestions: "... it seems very important to teach a student, while still in graduate school, to use the tools of interdisciplinary and disciplinary approaches to study various aspects of social phenomena that are objects of research in various legal sciences. It seems that such an idea among graduate students can be formed in the course History and Methodology of Science"). Thus, scientific research in the proposed field is only to be welcomed. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the proposed article is beyond doubt. It is expressed in the specific scientific conclusions of the author. Among them, for example, are the following: "... interdisciplinary research, in our opinion, cannot be used when it is necessary to investigate the specific properties of a particular social phenomenon. ..., represent the so–called philosophical level of research [35]." As can be seen, these and other "theoretical" conclusions can be used in further scientific research. Thus, the materials of the article as presented may be of some interest to the scientific community in terms of contribution to the development of science. Style, structure, content. The subject of the article corresponds to the specialization of the journal "Law and Politics", as it is devoted to topical issues of studying the features of "... the use of an interdisciplinary approach in modern scientific research in the field of law." The article notes that this question has already been raised "Various studies are devoted to this, the results of which are reflected in numerous scientific articles." The content of the article corresponds to the title to a certain extent, since the author considered the stated problems and achieved the goal of his research. The quality of the presentation of the study and its results should be recognized as improved. The subject, tasks, methodology, and results of legal research directly follow from the text of the article. The design of the work generally meets the requirements for this kind of work. No significant violations of these requirements were found, except for some spelling descriptions "as a theoretical and methodological basis ..., we can come to the following ..., as well as their reasons for their occurrence and termination ..." etc. Bibliography. The quality of the used foreign and domestic literature should be highly appreciated. The author actively uses this literature. The works of the above authors correspond to the research topic, have a sign of sufficiency, and contribute to the disclosure of certain aspects of the topic. Appeal to opponents. The author conducted a serious analysis of the current state of the problem under study. The author describes different points of view on the problem, tries to argue a more correct position in his opinion, and offers solutions to individual problems. Conclusions, the interest of the readership. The conclusions are logical, specific and general in some cases, they are obtained using a generally accepted methodology. The article in this form may be of interest to the readership in terms of the systematic positions of the author in relation to the issues stated in the article. Based on the above, summing up all the positive and negative sides of the article, I recommend "publishing".
