SOME FEATURES OF THE COMPARATIVE LEGAL METHOD USAGE IN CIVIL RESEARCH
Introduction: using comparative legal method as an example the article is devoted to the analysis of methodological parts presented in civil law thesis, selected methods of scientific research, used both by general methodological science and the methodology of law. There is no doubt that the right choice of the scientific methods provides a successful solution of the research task and justify the provisions of scientific novelty. Purpose: to identify problematic issues that arise among respondents related to the correct choice of the scientific research methods, in particular, the comparative legal method, the completeness and comprehensiveness of its usage to achieve the goals of research and also to suggest the ways to solve them. Methods: theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; comparative legal method, empirical methods of comparison, measurement, description, interpretation. Results: analyzing the synopsis of thesis submitted for the academic degree in civil law indicates a number of problems associated, firstly, with a description of the methodology of work, and secondly, with a clear knowledge and understanding of the existing classifications of scientific methods, and thirdly - with insufficient usage of all the possibilities of the comparative legal method. Conclusions: it is important for postgraduate degree seekers to understand that the comparative legal method is not limited to a description of legal rules, laws, institutions and other legal phenomena. Classical comparative studies are based on a specific model, which includes the provisions of the law, economic, political, social prerequisites, as well as the practical component (application practice). In order to ensure effective comparison and obtain reliable results researcher must deeply look into this model, transfer it to new conditions, such as realities of the domestic legal field. At the same time, we believe that the reliability of scientific research is checked exclusively by its usage in practice. In other words, the model should work in new realities.
