THE ROLE OF COMPARATIVE LAW IN CONTEMPORARY LEGAL DEVELOPMENT: THEORY AND METHODOLOGY

Abstract

Comparative law is a distinct discipline within the framework of legal 
sciences that studies, examines, and compares different legal systems 
in order to identify their similarities and differences, and to achieve a 
deeper understanding of the typology of contemporary legal systems 
worldwide. 
In addition, comparative law enables a deeper analysis of the legal 
principles and institutions of different states, providing a broad 
transnational perspective on the impact of legal systems and their 
influence on society. 
By comparatively studying legal solutions implemented in foreign countries, states are able to adapt and apply effective legal models 
suited to their own national context. In this regard, the role of 
comparative law is of particular importance for Mongolia, where 
ongoing legal reforms are closely linked to the need for improving and 
modernizing national legislation. 
Therefore, the comparative analysis of legal systems serves as an 
essential tool for enhancing, reforming, and modernizing national 
legislation, as well as for increasing the overall effectiveness of the 
legal system in line with contemporary requirements.
