Chair of Civil Procedure

The Chair of Civil Procedure of the Faculty of Law of YSU was established on the basis of the Chair of Civil Law founded in the 1936-1937 academic years, when, on the recommendation of the Academic Council of YSU, a decision was made to organize the implementation of research and educational programs of civil law and civil procedure within the framework of separate chairs (2002).

The first head of the chair was the honored lawyer of RA, YSU professor R. Petrosyan, after whom the YSU professor, "Mkhitar Gosh" awardee A. Iskoyan and YSU associate-professor S. Meghryan made a great contribution to the establishment of the chair.

Throughout its activity, the Chair has always been at the forefront of the development of judicial law and various forms of protection of subjective rights.

Since 2008, with the support of the OSCE representation in RA, Ecological Law's Scientific and Educational Center has been formed next to the chair.

With the efforts of the Chair, all the main courses taught are provided with Armenian textbooks and teaching-methodical, auxiliary materials for practical classes.

The main directions of research activity of the Chair are judicial law institutions, non-judicial forms of protection of subjective rights, the study of issues on land law, ecological law, labor law, as well as international separate structures of rights protection.

Doctors and professors of legal science, Associate Professors, and Candidate Assistants of legal science teach in the chair. High-ranking law enforcement specialists from the RA Constitutional Court, the RA Court of Cassation, the RA Bankruptcy Court, as well as from other parts of the state system carry out effective educational activities at the chair. The Chair’s teaching staff includes well-recognized and leading specialists in the republic, who regularly undergo training in national, foreign, and international organizations while being involved in various programs of both scientific and practical orientation. With the active involvement of the chair members, the RA civil and RA administrative procedure codes, the RA bankruptcy law, and many other field laws were developed. Apart from that, the members of the chair are involved in the development and discussion of drafts of legal acts, the analysis of legal practice, and the preparation of professional opinions on different issues, as well as the scientific and practical interpretations of the norms of the RA Constitution and other laws.
