Research

Scientific work is an independent direction and an integral part of the Department's activity, since it allows us to provide high quality education. The Department's research areas organically combine both classic, so-called 'evergreen' topics of jurisprudence, as well as the new problems, the appearance of which is caused by the objectively ongoing transformation of the socio-economic and political relations and by the technological order shift.

Lecturers of the Department are members of the editorial boards of leading Russian and a number of foreign scientific journals; take an active part in Russian and foreign scientific events of the highest level; present scientific reports that are highly appreciated by colleagues; are members of the program committees of scientific events organized by other scientific or educational organizations in Russia and abroad.

Employees of the Department specializing in private law are engaged in extensive research in the field of property law, law of obligations, intellectual property law, banking law, corporate law, including the grounds for liability of the controlling person of an economic entity, civil liability of members of management bodies of companies, and responsibility of the head of a legal entity for misconduct.

The results of scientific research are discussed by colleagues at scientific and practical seminars with the invitation of academics from Russian and foreign universities, as well as practicing lawyers of Russian companies in the field of corporate practice.

Students who write their research papers in the field of private law, under the guidance of teachers of the Department, participate in model competitions and research contests, achieving high results (for example, in RAA online moots, in ‘Condicio Iuris’ contest).
