Abstract
Extended activity systems analysis of the structural organization of forensic inquiry allows to educe its generic system models and to present it as a type of practical cognitive activity. Along this line of reasoning forensic research can be represented as a problem-solving process based on a level principle when an expert cyclically and repeatedly the solution scheme consistently deepens and specifcates the research. The concept of dialogic character shows its inextricable connection with the expert’s method characteristic since the content of the latter determines the corresponding types of expert activity reflected in it. Thus, it can be said that expert’s methods are an ‘action conclusion’ through the defnitions of ‘reasonable practicality’, ‘potentional realizability’ and ‘physical feasibility’ modes.
