The positive legal uncertainty as a technical and legal method of exposition of law

Introduction. In modern Russian society with high rates of development of market relations, digitalization of the main spheres of life, popularization of the ideas of self-organization and self-regulation, legal uncertainty acts as a bipolar phenomenon, which is not only a consequence of law-making errors, but an effective technical and legal way of presenting regulations. Theoretical analysis. The historical analysis of the formation and development of ideas of certainty and uncertainty in jurisprudence showed that these categories are considered as universal phenomena characteristic of any matter. It was established that absolute certainty is unattainable and not always in demand, while legal uncertainty is inherent in the very nature of law. Еmpirical analysis. It was revealed that the need to ensure mobility and flexibility of legal regulation imposes the task of a reasonable use of legal uncertainty as a technical and legal way of presenting law on the law-making subject, which is reflected in the current legislation. Results. Legal uncertainty is an objective and inevitable phenomenon, and the total regulation of social relations is not always justified. The law is being improved on the basis of the principle of transition from the casuistic to the abstract, which proves its universality.

Jus Naturale and Roman Law: Issues of Correlation

Introduction. The issue of the relationship of jus naturalle, that is, as Samuel Pufendorf rightly claims, the same age as the human race and was formed within the framework of ancient Greek law, and Roman law, which is considered the pinnacle of ancient law, is the object of the study in the present article. Currently, many philosophers, lawyers, who try to understand this problem, agree that jus naturalle had a direct and significant impact on the content of Roman law. Purpose. The research is aimed at revealing the relationship between jus naturalle and Roman law and the logical connection between them. Results. To clarify the interaction between jus naturalle and Roman law, the specific characteristics of each system were identified. Theorizing identified with philosophy, the presence of moral attitudes, that are not formalized, in the strict sense, in the documentary legal form, are inherent in natural law. Roman law, on the contrary, is technological, concrete, imperative, not speculative. Both systems appeared in the ancient period, but they did not develop simultaneously, they developed consecutively, with Roman law incorporating the ideas of jus naturalle, which indicates, firstly, their relationship, and, secondly, that jus naturalle was a part of Roman law. This explains the homogeneous relationship between the phenomena under consideration, which is consistently characterized by a number of regularities. Methods of interpretation and legal fictions were widely used to formalize the ideas of jus naturalle into Roman laws. Conclutions. Thus, the Roman law formalized the ideas of jus naturalle in legal regulations, which allowed them to “translate” from abstractions into reality, building the rule of law on their basis.
