Civil law sources: concept and system

The work is devoted to the study of the legal and doctrinal foundations concerning the sources of civil law. The author considers the legislator's approach to determining the content of the category under study, and also analyzes key doctrinal positions in order to develop a universal definition of the source of civil law.
