Abstract
This article explores the issues associated with expert support in the legislative process of the Russian Federation and their impact on ensuring legal security. It was demonstrated that the expertise of draft laws should be considered as an effective way to safeguard legal security, which guarantees the elimination of risks (threats) that compromise the quality of adopted laws. The main types of legislative risks (threats) to legal security were considered: corruption factors, linguistic errors, failure to adequately assess potential negative consequences of the legislative enactment, etc. The definitions of the concepts of “draft law expertise” and “legal security” were refined, emphasizing their relationship. The need for systematization of the legislation governing the organization and exercise of expert involvement in the legislative process was substantiated in order to codify the system of expert examinations and specify their objectives, scope, subject, and responsible actors.
