The possibility of involving an expert in the field of law in the administrative process through the conduct of scientific and legal expertise, one of the functional purposes of which is the doctrinal interpretation of legislation, is considered. The problem of determining the competence of an expert in the field of law is consecrated and the criteria for its evaluation are presented. The necessity of improving the norms of the specified code of Ukraine in terms of determining the procedural rights and obligations of an expert in the field of law in a trial, as well as the legal nature of his conclusion, is proved.

Proposals are provided on amending the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, which will help resolve conflicts in the current legislation regarding the legal status of an expert in the field of law and the opinion provided by him, his rights and obligations.
