The Doctrine of Specialist’s Activities in the Structure of Forensic Expertology

Abstract

The need to study the activities of a specialist based on an integrated approach is dictated by several reasons. Among them, first, contradictions and ambiguity of normative regulation, problems arising in legal proceedings and other types of jurisdictional activities, in which a specialist can be attracted to participate, are manifested. It should be determined which science can effectively study the figure of a specialist and his activities. Several legal sciences can claim to include in the subject of their research the patterns of the formation of the legal and professional status of a specialist, the implementation of his functions by a specialist, including the study of the patterns of a specialist’s implementation of certain types of activities, their results, and the possibilities of their use in jurisdictional activities. However, not everyone is able to provide an integrated approach. It is proposed to distinguish in forensic expertology as a science on the use of special knowledge the doctrine (private theory) about the activities of a specialist, the subject of studying which is to identify the patterns highlighted above.
