Judicial law-making in Russia and the USA: some theoretical and practical problems
Abstract
A comparative legal study of problematic issues related to judicial practice and judicial law-making in Russia and the USA was carried out. It has been established that judicial law-making is recognized as a source of law. However, the most problematic and controversial is the question of its place in the system of sources of law. The study revealed that in practice, within the Anglo-Saxon legal system, it is often difficult to clearly define the boundary between common law precedents and statutory interpretation. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the judicial precedent in the United States, as well as in Russia, from the point of view of integrative legal understanding, still refers to “non-law”.

Structure and boundaries of the stages of the civil process
Abstract
To successfully defend your rights in court, you should clearly understand the content and legal nature of the actions necessary for this. At the same time, the theory of civil procedure has not yet formed a unified approach to solving the question of what a civil process is, what elements it consists of.
Since the civil process is one of the types of legal activity, its primary element is the procedural action. Setting the goal of determining the structure of the civil process, it is necessary to determine not only the list of its constituent parts and their names, but also their spatial and temporal boundaries.
It should be noted that individual procedural actions cannot exist separately from each other, and therefore, the procedural form not only determines the order of their commission, but also combines them into a certain system. At the same time, the analysis of works devoted to the application of the system method in jurisprudence allowed us to conclude that the civil process is a set of various elements that are in relationships and connections with each other, forming a certain integrity, unity.
Thus, the primary element of the civil process is the procedural actions, which make up the stages and stages. At the same time, it is not necessary to consider the process itself as a chain of interconnected links going in order one after another. The civil process is rather a set of relatively isolated elements that can form various structural connections depending on the circumstances of a particular case. They can exist not only within certain stages or stages, but also beyond them.

Transformation of special proceedings into action proceedings: on the example of social rights protection of leningrad siege survivors
Abstract
In the presented article, the author proposes to introduce the possibility of transforming a special production into a claim and vice versa. Such a procedure may be possible on the basis of a court ruling issued at the request of interested persons and if there are grounds established by law.
According to the author of the article, the establishment by the court of such an important ground as the existence of a dispute about the right is sufficient for the transformation from special proceedings to claim proceedings. By the current civil procedural legislation, the court should be given the opportunity to accept a request document received in special proceedings and then consider it according to the rules of not special, but claim proceedings. Such opportunities will significantly reduce the time and other costs of both participants in the proceedings and the court.

Consideration and resolution of family and corporate disputes: procedural problems
Abstract
The common property of the spouses may include shares or shares in the authorized capital of the company, therefore, various procedural problems related to family and corporate law arise in the practice of the courts.
Purpose of the work: on the basis of doctrinal and empirical analysis to resolve some procedural problems in the consideration and resolution of family-corporate disputes.
Brief conclusions. When considering a dispute on the division of a share in a company, the court should bring up for discussion the issue of the possibility of obtaining compensation for it, which can prevent further corporate disputes. The fact of the presence of a prohibitive clause in the charter of a legal entity should not be included in the subject of proof in a family dispute on the division of a shares. The presence of a court decision on the recognition of ownership of a part of the share and the disagreement of other participants in the corporation serves as the basis for paying the actual value of the shares. The spouse has the right to apply to the arbitration court to challenge the corporate decision if he violates his property right, but in this case an increased standard of proof will apply, since the plaintiff is obliged to provide indisputably evidence of the disagreement at the time of the legal actions, their economic inexpediency.

Issues of judicial protection of violated rights of apartment owners
Abstract
To date the issue of qualifying apartments as a type of real estate has not been resolved at the legislative level; there is no resolution of the issue in terms of determining the intended (economic) purpose of these premises, taking into account the practice of using them for permanent or primary residence. This situation is due to the lack of a definition of apartments in the current legislation.
The goal is to consider certain issues of judicial protection of the rights of owners of apartments that have variable intended use, related to the observance of the rights of third parties, the organization of management of buildings in which the apartments are located, with the transfer of apartments from non-residential premises to residential ones. In particular, attempts to change the current legislation in terms of determining the status of apartments are analyzed, taking into account the balance of interests of all participants, taking into account the existing negative and positive experience. The current judicial practice is examined from the point of view of protecting the violated rights of apartment owners during bankruptcy proceedings and enforcement proceedings. Positive contractual structures have been identified when purchasing apartments, taking into account minimizing the legal risks of their owners. The features and disadvantages of taxation of apartments used for permanent residence, including during their alienation, have been identified. That is, the legal institution of apartments, used for the permanent residence of citizens, was considered as a multifaceted complex phenomenon, the regulation of which is carried out by many branches of law.
Methods: analysis, synthesis and comparison.
The obtained conclusions are of scientific novelty and practical significance, since they contribute to the improvement of the norms of civil legislation and the development of the science of civil law.

Modern practice of drug sales qualification
Abstract
The article deals with the issues of qualification of the sale of narcotic drugs using caches. The author, commenting on the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 15.06.2006 No. 14 “On judicial practice in cases of crimes related to narcotic drugs, psychotropic, potent and poisonous substances” (16.05.2017), analyzes law enforcement practice in terms of assessing the stages of drug sales through bookmarks.
Methods. The research uses methods of analysis and synthesis, system, structural, formal and legal.
Brief conclusions. Based on examples of court decisions in specific criminal cases, typical errors in qualifying the illegal sale of narcotic drugs through bookmarks, caused by an incorrect interpretation in some cases of the concept of sale of narcotic drugs and the moment of its end, are considered. It is concluded that the sale of narcotic drugs committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy or by an organized group is completed for each of the accomplices only if it is established that the purchaser has been informed of the location of the stash. Thus, the actions of a pawnbroker who is detained while constructing a hiding place in a place not previously agreed upon with the purchaser, as a rule, are subject to qualification as an attempted sale.

Infliction as a Criminal Law Category
Abstract
The article is devoted to the issues of infliction as a category of criminal law science. On the basis of the philosophical doctrine of causality, an attempt is made to resolve the problem of criminal law infliction through such concepts as “causal connection” and “causal relationship”. The author comes to the conclusion that infliction is an act which in some cases is criminal, in other cases – non-criminal; causal connection is a feature of the objective side of both criminal and non-criminal infliction, and causal relationship is an optional feature of the objective side of the corpus delicti of an offence with a substantive legislative construction.

Judicial practice
Protection of the rights of individuals in the securities market: a review of judicial practice
Abstract
The large-scale involvement of citizens in the functioning of the securities market is associated with a high investment risk. In connection with the emergence of disputable situations, citizens apply to the courts with various requirements, referring to the fact that they are consumers. At the same time, the courts are not always able to protect the rights of citizens since it is very problematic to prove the status of a consumer. This situation actualizes questions about the legal status of citizens in the securities market and the judicial protection of their rights.
The purpose of the study is to assess the judicial practice in disputes related to the participation of citizens in the securities market.
When writing this article, general scientific methods (system, functional, group of logical methods) and special legal methods (formal legal, legal modeling method) were applied.
The article describes the main approaches to the qualification of legal relations with the participation of citizens in the securities market, developed in judicial practice and doctrine. At the same time, it is concluded that judicial practice is based on the position that citizens in the securities market are not consumers. This approach can be seen in disputes arising from brokerage service agreements, agreements with traders, agreements with forex dealers, and trust management agreements. However, it seems that the question of the legal status of a citizen should not be decided a priori, not only depending on the type of contract, but also on the number and frequency of transactions in the securities market, on the volume of investment, on the risks taken and on other characteristics of the actual activity of the citizen.
