Features of the Functioning of the Legal System in the Context of Digitalization Processes

Abstract

Using a documentary-based methodology, the aim of the study was to identify the key features of the functioning of the legal system in the context of digitization processes. The rapid growth of information volumes, the formation of information sets and databases, the intensive development of digital technologies, their widespread introduction in various spheres of public life, their mediation in a growing number of areas and types of social interaction, the activities of state and public institutions are a significant factor in the development of modern society, forming a "digital" reality. It is concluded that, in the conditions of the new reality, the law becomes not only a means, a tool ensuring digitalization of economy, management and other segments of social life, but also, an object of influence of "digitalization", by virtue of which it undergoes changes in its form, content, system, structure, mechanism of action and shows tendency to intensify emerging transformations. As a result of the study, the current trends and prerequisites for the characteristics of the functioning of the legal system in the context of digitization processes were investigated.
