Law development trends in the European Union

Abstract

Findings. The results of the research show that the convergence of legal science with other sciences is often criticized: on the one hand, it is criticized that social science s do not know the specifics of legal science, and on the other hand, formalization of legal categories detaches too much from legal reality. Integration of social sciences to the sphere of modern law is not a phenomenon without problems: it does not solve legal reality and conflicts of legal science as well as it creates a new reality which is neither purely legal, nor purely scientific. Disciplines like philosophy of law, sociology of law, legal economical analysis and legal politology are hybrid derivativ es of social sciences. They investigate law with various aspects of social sciences, which starts a discussion not only about legal science, but also opens a discourse on legal practices, that are discussed in this article.
