The paper takes up questions of the appearance of road freightage law to regulate relations between the consignor, the transport body, and the consignee regarding the usage of specialized rolling-stock, planning transportation, optimal cargo distribution etc. The most of the problems raised are still urgent.

The fate of the faculty of law as a department of Saratov University has not been easy since its very appearance. Its intended opening in 1909 did not take place for political reasons as well as financial ones. Only on 1 July 1917, after the overthrow of the monarchy, a faculty of law (along with some other ones) was opened at Saratov University by a decree of the Provisional Government. In 1920 a historical department joined the faculty of law and the latter was renamed to the legal faculty and, after a while, to the faculty of social sciences.
