Lomakina I.B. Methodological aspects of common law in the light of classical and neoclassical paradigms.

Abstract: Author studies common law in the context of the sociological jurisprudence, which recognizes legal pluralism. Such an angle of view allows one to see common law as a multi-faceted social and cultural phenomenon. The author also reviews modern common law of foreign states, and role of common law at the international level, concludes that pluralistic approach is preferable for the complex study of the common law.
