In 1986 he received his doctorate by defending his dissertation on "The content of civil procedural legal relationships" (Russian: "Содержание гражданских процессуальных правовых отношений").

In 1998 he completed his habilitation by defending his dissertation on “Ways to protect civil rights in court” (Russian: “Способы защиты гражданских прав в суде”).

The work also pointed out the prospect of introducing technical means of information processing and in particular the use of electronic documents in legal proceedings in the process.
