ENThe historical-legal researches have considerably become more active and have risen to a much higher level lately in Ukraine. The legalists mostly show interest in the Lithuanian Statutes studies. We can allocate 5 groups dedicated to these outstanding sources. The first group is composed from the researches which contain main characteristic of the Statutes, the history of their creation, the receptions of the standards of the traditional law, Roman and Old Rus’ law. The second group is represented by the historiographical works. The third group includes the researches of the civil law of the Statutes (material law, land relations, guardianship and care). The criminal-legal aspects (guilt, crimes, responsibility, and punishment) compose the fourth group. The legalists pay great attention to the formation and the activity of the judicial institutes, legal procedure, and the trial participants’ rights and permissions.
