On the structure of authors' abstracts in the sphere of private law

This article deals with the problem of finalization of authors' abstracts as the works of legal science. It is based on the survey of authors' abstracts (specialty 12.00.03) for the period from 1954 to 2014 and a personal experience of the author who is both an academic supervisor and an Academic Secretary of the Dissertation Board. The author gives a critical appraisal of sections "subject" and "object". It has been proposed to concretize "subject" with the help of the construction "legal nature". The necessity to conduct a comprehensive analysis of public relations in dissertations has been substantiated. The author shows a special actuality for concretization of the subject in dissertations on private law. One of the most serious problems in the private law strategy in Russia is a very slow process of the formation of private law. This is largely stipulated by the poor knowledge of legal theory and self-distrust of the authors. The author of the given article proposes to introduce an entrance examination in legal theory for post graduates and to include a detailed plan of the dissertation into the text of the authors' abstracts. The article can be useful for post graduates, candidates, their academic supervisors, as well as for the members of Dissertational Boards.
