[6] Konstantin Nevolin, Altksey Pavlov, Vasily Klyuchevsky, Aleksandr Lototsky, V. Chernov, Mikhail Tikhomirov, Serafim Yushkov, A. Kartashov and Yaroslav Schapov attributed the emergence of the statute to Pre-Mongol Period (before the first half of the 13th century).

[7] Serafim Yushkov considered that only introduction and conclusion of the statute belonged to Yaroslav Vladimirovich.

The statute also reflected medieval right-privilege: punishment was differentiated by estate (social group) of victim.

The Collection concludes with Confirmative Charter of 1402 by Vasily Dmitrievich, Grand Prince of Moscow, and Cyprian, Metropolitan of Moscow, mentioning about the Yaroslav's Statute (the Charter confirmed rights and privileges, given to church by princes Vladimir and Yaroslav, and metropolitans).
