К вопросу о сущности юридического приоритета

Abstract

The author makes one of the first attempts to determine the essence of the phenomenon of “legal priority” not only from the perspective of individual forms of its manifestation, but also through the prism of the philosophy of law, linguistic perception of this phenomenon, as well as the doctrinal positions and normative implementation that exist about it. The modern political and legal concept of objectification of legal priority in public relations is analyzed, on the basis of which it is concluded that it is positioned in two projections: as a preference, i. e. the most desirable regulatory option for the state and society, as well as a legal advantage, i. e. a specific model for improving the legal status of the subject. It is proved that legal priority acts as a means of differentiation and hierarchical construction of various elements of the legal system. The author substantiates the significance of the values that are positioned by the author as a formal legal and moral-ethical criterion for establishing legal priority in legal regulation. The conclusion is made about the need for a full-fledged, general theoretical study of legal priority, the formation of its doctrinal concept.
