Abstract

The problem is posed by the fact that under the current conditions, public expertise does not reveal the potential of its social significance, it is required to resolve issues of initiative, expanding the objects of public expertise, proper acceptance and accounting for the results of expertise, responsibility for ignoring them, as well as the ratio of types of public expertise based on their level regulation. The purpose of work is to identify and analyze the essence of public expertise as a form of public control. The subject of the study includes the regulatory framework for organizing and conducting public expertise as a form of public control, doctrinal approaches to the essence and content of public expertise, as well as the practice of conducting it. The methodological basis of the presented work is modern general scientific methods and techniques of cognition. We use dialectical, structural-functional, formal-legal, comparative-legal, system-structural and other methods. We establish that the legislative definition of public expertise provides in its content for the evaluation of not only normative legal acts and their drafts, but also other documents, as well as actions (inaction) of public authorities, however, in practice, normative legal acts and their drafts have become the main object of public expertise, which actually limits its essence and purpose.
