Abstract
In the article entitled "Is Traditional Legal Dualism in Continental Law Doomed?", the author answers this question in the negative, adding that this arrangement is justified and well-functioning and has, therefore, survived centuries. At the same time, the dualism can be seen as a specific feature of continental law, non-existent in other major legal systems.
Yet he argues that traditional legal dualism is to be found in a moderate form in continental law. Private and public law overlap and permeate one another.
The line between them is blurred. Recently some fusion has taken place, as private law has acquired public features and public law has acquired some private features.
