    Re-examining Mongolian Legal History: A Study on the Basis of Original Legal Texts

Currently, he is conducting a new study of Mongolian legal history that examines and analyzes Mongolian original legal texts produced between the 17th and the early 20th century. These legal texts are presently preserved in the archives in Mongolia, Russia, and China.
