The researcher notes the polysemy of the etymologic interpretations of this notion and identifies the main characteristics of legal doctrine and its social designation. The researcher posits a thesis that the role of doctrine as a formal legal source of law has become more important amidst globalization and integration. The researcher has come to the conclusion, through a deep and comprehensive analysis that the perception of this category differs significantly in different legal traditions.} }
