Abstract: By means of the analysis of the systems approach evolution in the form of the “general systems theory”, formed in the 20th century, the author reveals a range of drawbacks, and offers an optimal variant of the systems approach application to subject researches in general, and to legal liability in particular. The functional system method is one of the optimal variants of practical application of the systems approach in subject researches. Within this study it gives the opportunity to formulate the basic concept and structural elements of the system of legal liability. The author applies the general and specific scientific research methods: analysis, synthesis and the systems approach to subject researches. The author comes to the following conclusions: firstly, the systems approach, having passed a long period of evolution, in the 20th century was formed in a theoretical concept called “the general systems theory”. But, due to some drawbacks of Bertalanffy’s general systems theory, mainly, the absence of a backbone factor in his definition, there appear the attempts to solve this problem. Among them the author outlines the concept of a functional system. Secondly, the functional systems method is the most optimal variant of the systems approach practical application in subject researches. Thirdly, the functional systems method has a leading position in the methodology of legal liability research, and allows formulating the basic concept and structural elements of the system of legal liability within subject studies.
