Abstract

The article considers the basics of legal informatization of population as a method of forming a common culture, as well as the communicative and legal culture and personality awareness of the younger generation. The paper defines the following concepts: “informatization” — a process that affects all areas of society (social, economic, legal, technical and scientific), aimed at creating better conditions for meeting the information needs of the information society; “legal informing” – a process of social communication and the transfer of legal information that provides the population with the knowledge component comprising the basics of the current legal regulations and the means of their implementation with the aim of protecting personal rights and interests. The article also states that the legal informing occurs through state institutes of legal education, public and political organizations, media, and establishments that provide qualified legal assistance to citizens (lawyers' organizations, law firms, etc.), through consultations and explanations of existing legal rules and regulations. The paper also notes that legal informatization is also implemented by print media, television and radio communications. In addition, the paper notes the presence of informal mechanisms providing legal information, including the interaction with the immediate social environment, namely with family and close friends; however, the legal information obtained in such a way is not always reliable. A scheme of the formation of a communicative and legal culture is presented, which consists in a rather long, multifaceted and comprehensive process, requiring the development of various aspects of life in society. The author states that communicative and legal culture is a developed and effective process of social, communicative and legal socialization of an individual. She also describes the results of a sociological survey aimed at revealing effective ways and mechanisms of legal informatization. The conclusion provides the findings on the importance of quality legal information in order to form a communicative and legal culture of young people.
