Legal Geography as a Science and Academic Discipline

The article argues for the author's view of the legal geography of the world as a new scientific direction for the study and teaching of law. The article substantiates the position on the obsolescence of classical approaches of comparative jurisprudence to the classification of modern legal systems. It is proposed to use the category "legal space" instead of the outdated concept of "legal system". The academic discipline "Legal Geography of the world" must be studied by international lawyers, as well as students of non-legal special ties (diplomats, translators, religious scholars, historians, sociologists, anthropologists). It is quite obvious that for the fundamentality of legal education, legal geography should be taught along with the course "Comparative Law".
