THE ESSENCE OF LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
There is a kind of competition between "pure" legal theorists and "down-to-earth" branch specialists in the question of who responds faster to the challenges of the time and produces the doctrinal constructions of legal responsibility demanded by practice. Some scholars express doubts about the ability of the general theory of law to give a definition of legal responsibility, uniting all of its branch types. The article examines the reasons for the emergence of some flawed theoretical doctrines and the definitions of legal responsibility arising from them, which are not suitable for industry types of responsibility. The definition of legal responsibility is given, suitable for all branches of law.
