SOURCES OF LAW: PROBLEMS OF THE THEORY

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the analysis of discussional points of the theory of sources of law. The article pays attention to dissatisfactory state of major pluralist concept. The author makes an endeavour to show the difference between sources of law, forms of law, and law-forming factors. It is suggested that one should understand a source of law as the will of a subject having the right to settle legal prescriptions and norms. The theoretical and practical meaning of such approach is shown.
