Classification of typical deficiencies contained in civil law studies and some methodological recommendations for their elimination

Introduction: in this article, it is proposed a classification of typical deficiencies contained in civil law studies, and justified some methodological recommendations for their elimination. Results: classification of typical errors made by candidates for the degrees of PhD and LLM, presented in two groups: 1) scientific and methodological, which can lead to the decision to not accept work to the defense (i.e. the mismatch between the criteria for assessing the quality of dissertations); 2) technical, which allows access to the defense, but this significantly reduces its estimate (it is talked primarily of the master's thesis, suggesting, in contrast to dissertations, differentiated assessment). Analyzing the evaluation criteria of qualification requirements for PhD and master thesis, the conclusion is grounded on the necessity of unification of requirements to the quality of the research. These studies have to differ only by the number of solved scientific problems. It is noted to the prospects of civil research in the field of legal support of social entrepreneurship, considered in many countries with a strong rule of law as an effective model for solving social problems using business tools. Conclusions: the scientific-practical recommendations to removal of common errors in civil law studies are given.
