Ashmarina E.M. Economic Law: Problems and prospects. I Russian inter-university academic and practical conference «Economic Law: theoretical and applied aspects» (Russian Academy of Justice, January 24–25, 2014).

Abstract: This article offers a substantiation for the necessity, practicality and appropriateness of introducing a new branch of Law into the Russian legal system — the Economic Law. In light of this, we examine the bulk of legal norms that regulate public economy, as well as the dynamics of internal processes of this sphere of Law (institutes, sub-branches, comprehensive sections of Law) that reflect current trends for transformations that occur on both, national and supranational levels of the economy. The author used general scientific methods (comparison, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization) and specific science methods, such as formal and dogmatic, comparative Law analysis, etc. A theoretic individualization of the economic law as a separate branch is a potentially innovative approach to Law. The mission of the new branch of legal science (the economic Law) would be the systemic analysis for the optimization of the legal regulation of economic processes as they develop, in order to prevent negative trends.
