Abstract
Based on a review and analysis of V. D. Sorokin’s scientific heritage on the theory of law in general, as well as on the legal process and procedural branches of law in particular, the article proves the sectoral status of administrative procedural norms regulating administrative proceedings included in the structure of the administrative process. Using the research methodology developed by V. D. Sorokin’s theoretical construction on the types of legal regulation and the types of process that are the channels for implementing these types of legal regulation, the authors identified the procedural nature of “administrative” legal proceedings, and identified defects in its domestic model, which is enshrined in the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation.
