Being a specific activity related to the creation, amendment or abolition of legal norms existing in the state, law-making determines the degree of democracy, civilization of the state, and its "convenience" for citizens. The article traces the evolution of the idea of lawmaking, its practical implementation in our country from primitive to modern forms. The semantic content of the term "law-making" in domestic law is analyzed. The article identifies the most significant problems of the modern law-making process. The conclusion is drawn about their immanence, which does not mean the impossibility of reducing their negative impact on the quality of lawmaking

Based on modern statistical data and an analysis of its dynamics in recent years, the deterioration of the situation with child disability in the Russian Federation is indicated, which inevitably actualizes the state social policy in this area. The legal framework for recognizing a child as a disabled person and his subsequent social protection is analyzed. A reasonable conclu-sion is made about the insufficiency of an exclusively legislative approach to social support of a disabled child. It is determined that disabled children are children with various mental or physical abnormalities that cause developmental disorders that prevent children from living a full life. Dis-abled children as a social category need social protection, help, support. The leading position in the upbringing, socialization, meeting needs, education, career guidance of a child with develop-mental problems i...

In spite of the obvious fact that the American experience cannot be fully translated and adopted in Russia due to life-style differences, socio-economic conditions, ethical principles and cultural differ-ences, understanding one of the leading social work models in the world can have a positive impact on the developing social work field in Russia. Having knowledge about the system of higher education of social workers in the United States may also prove beneficial. Russian social work education has been taking steps in the direction of unification of its standards with the Western higher educational sys-tem, leading to the adoption of structural and curricula characteristics present in the United States educational system, mandated by the Council on Social Work Education, the accrediting organization in the United States. SOCIAL WORK OVERVIEW Social Work Defined Social work is «the applied science of helping people achieve an effective level of psychosocial func-tioning and effecting societal changes to enhance the well-being of all people» (Barker, 2003, p. 408). An historical definition from the National Association of Social Workers’ states Social work is the professional activity of helping individuals, groups, or communities enhance or restore their capacity for social functioning and creating societal conditions favorable to this goal. Social Work practice consists of the professional ap-plication of social work values, principles, and tech-niques to one or more of the following ends: helping people obtain tangible services; providing counseling and psychotherapy with individuals, families, and groups; helping communities or groups provide or im-prove social and health services; and participating in relevant legislative processes. The practice of social work requires knowledge of human development and behavior; of social, economic, and cultural institu-tions; and of the interaction of all these factors. (National Association of Social Workers, 1973, pp. 4-5) The definition of social work from the United States (U. S.) may not be applicable to other coun-tries. The International Federation of Social Workers (2005) adopted the following international definition of social work in July 2000: The social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment and liberation of people to en-hance well-being. [Utilizing] theories of human [behavior] and so-cial systems, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments. Prin-ciples of human rights and social justice are funda-mental to social work. (para 1) Unique Characteristics. There are features of social work that make it distinguishable from other professions in the United States. Kirst-Ashman (2003, pp. 15-19) has identified four unique charac-teristics of the social work profession: 1) being able to address any issue, regardless of its complexity; 2) being able to address individual issues from a macro practice level, focusing on changing the envi-ronment; 3) being an advocate for clients; 4) abiding by the values and ethics of the profession. Organization The social work profession in the U. S. has its own body of knowledge, ethical code, standards of practice, credentials, membership organization (Na-tional Association of Social Workers), specialty mem-

The legal status of state and municipal employees is being perma-nently reformed. The next stage of reforms is associated with the amend-ments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation made in 2020, which also affected the requirements for persons employed in the public service. In addition, the appearance in the Constitution of the term “public authority”, which includes not only state power, but also local self-government, largely predetermined the unification of requirements for persons employed in state and municipal service. The constitutional changes led to the reform of legislation in this area. We conclude about the importance of comparative legal research for the scientific substantiation of ongoing legislative reforms. The comparative legal method of research allows us to single out the general, special and singu...
