Instrumental Measurement of the Forensic Examination Theory: The Use of the Methodology of the General Law Theory to Identify, Understand and Solve Applied Problems

The paper is devoted to the study of the opportunity to apply the methodology of the general law theory in forensic expert activities. Based on an analysis of general theoretical structures, the author notes that an expert and an investigator are a subject of studying traces of the crime system. It is stated that facts established in the course of an expert study should be determined by goals of the instrumental, instrumental/goal setting and instrumental/cognitive nature of law with regards to the proving process. The author justifi es the need to develop forensic expert technologies that would not violate the procedural independence of each party to judicial proceedings.
