Legal Culture and State Legal Life of the Society

Abstract

The present Conference was due to discuss a broad range of issues related to interaction and interference of such social realities and categories as “legal culture” and “state legal life” through national (intra state) and global view. The priority targeted theme of the main report and the participants’ interventions was to answer the following questions: what is the essence of state legal life of the society and the legal culture viewed as the social realities and scientific categories? what the requirements should by applied to legal policy so that it would be able to provide increasing quality of state legal life in following points: a) to establish and maintain dominant position for the law in national and global state legal space and the needed level of the legal culture for society and citizens; b) to minimize threats to national interests caused by globalization. Scientific novelty of the results of the conference is seen in the fact that it develops the common theory of state legal life as the entity of legal policy. However the practical value is that the legal culture if its concept fulfills certain conditions (in particular, if it contains certain measures towards increase of the legal culture of society and individuals) becomes effective source for organization and ordering state legal life on such levels as the national (intra state), international-regional and global ones.
