THE CIVILIZATION CRITERION IN THE TYPOLOGY OF LEGAL SYSTEMS

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the study of the civilizational approach in the typology of contemporary legal systems, according to which there are many civilizations that develop according to their own legalities, and the originality of each family of national legal systems is largely determined by the particularities of the way the law is formed. The article deals with the approach of the most prominent representative of the civilization current – the French doctrinaire Rene David, who proposed the typology of national systems according to their belonging to a pool of legal civilization, as well as the classification of the Arminjon-Nolde-Wolff scholars, who based the taxonomy on a combination of legal history, sources of law, technique, terms, concepts and culture.
