The article draws attention to the little-studied area of historical and legal science, in particular, the issue of the emergence, formation and development of the land law science in Ukraine. The relevance of this area of research is emphasized in terms of possibility of finding the options (that already existed in the past) for solving the modern land-legal problems. It is stated that this article allows performing at least two tasks: the first one is the analysis of theoretical views on the problems of land law of Kharkiv lawyers of the 1920s, and the second one – the introduction of the little-known scientific works on this problem into scientific circulation, which allows reproducing the features of legal research of that time in the field of land law. It was analyzed the scientific achievements of Kharkiv scientists, such as L.S. Dubinskiy, O.L. Malitskiy, M.F. Matvievskiy, O.M. Odarchenko, S.E. Sabinin. Most of their scientific works are little known both in the historical-legal science, and in the land-legal science. The analysis of presented publications is a solid foundation for the conclusion about existence of the Kharkiv branch of science of the land law in the 1920s, which later has become the basis for the formation of corresponding scientific school.
