The article presents the views of E. V. Vaskovsky (1866-1942) on the problem of a ratio of legality and a discretion in law-implementing, as well as other problems of legal science. The scholar was a consistent advocate of legality, consistent supporter of one of the main ideas of legal positivism. Other ideas relating to this scientific trend were reflected in the works of E. V. Vaskovsky. These ideas are: the limitation of the subject matter of the formal-dogmatic legal science, understanding of law as a set of compulsory norms emanating from public authorities, the basic meaning of a normative legal act in the system of sources of law, critical attitude to new theories of interpretation of law, limits of judicial discretion, etc. The value of views of E. V. Vaskovsky in the development of legal positivism must be taken into account and employed by scientific researches and used in training courses on the history of political and legal doctrines.
