The article presents the results of a comparative legal analysis of the institute of pre-trial cooperation agreements in the criminal procedure legislation of foreign states. It is concluded that the specifics of the conclusion of this agreement and its subsequent implementation depend on the type of legal system and the nature of national criminal procedure legislation of each country. By its nature, the Russian institute of pre-trial cooperation agreement is similar to a number of conciliation procedures of the continental legal system, but it has distinctive features due to the peculiarities of domestic legislation.
Minds of many scientists are occupied with the issue of a need to formulate new theoretical approaches to defining the essence of law in the environment of extensive and dynamic changes in the conception of law. Scientific literature contains different handlings of the legal theories on the issue of the essence of law, belonging both to the past and present. The authors propose to implement universal logical principles of scientific theorization, developed in science studies, in the modern theory of law to create a humancentered scientific legal theory that is sought after by jurists.
The article analyses the problems of civil law regulation of relations arising in the digital society. The property relations, the civil turnover sphere is increasingly shifting to various kinds of electronic platforms. The process was further accelerated by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The development and application of artificial intelligence technologies bring forward the problem of ensuring safety for humans from the negative impact of such technologies, minimizing threats to their life and health. Due to the virtuality of artificial intelligence as a social phenomenon, a product, a good created by man, the application of traditional legal means to regulate social relations connected with the application of artificial intelligence technologies at present does not provide a full solution to a number of uncertainties arising on the market of goods, works and services. To this end, it is proposed to form a new legal fiction in civil law at the level of scientific doctrine to resolve legal uncertainties arising in civil turnover due to the use of artificial intelligence technologies. It is about formalizing artificial intelligence technology as a subject of law as an “electronic person” or “electronic legal entity” bringing together several legal entities with a special legal personality.
