Formation Of Legal Consciousness Research Articles

Основные факторы, определяющие правосознание российского общества

The concept of legal consciousness in Russian society is multifaceted and deeply rooted in historical, economic, and social factors. This article aims to dissect these factors and their impact on the formation of legal attitudes and perceptions among the populace. Legal consciousness in Russia has evolved over centuries, shaped by a complex interplay of historical events and socio-economic conditions. From the pre-Christian era to the tumultuous transformations in the 1990–2020s, the understanding of law and justice has been deeply intertwined with the fabric of Russian society. A significant aspect of legal consciousness formation lies in the experiences of the peasantry, from the era of serfdom to the collectivization efforts of the Soviet era. Economic factors, including income distribution and access to resources, play a pivotal role in shaping legal attitudes and behaviors among citizens. In the modern era, cultural-economic and legislative trends such as counter-sanctions and digitization have further influenced legal consciousness. The concept of legal nihilism, characterized by a disregard for legal norms and institutions, underscores the need for proactive measures to address this phenomenon. In conclusion, the analysis reveals a complex tapestry of factors influencing legal consciousness in Russian society, with economic disparities playing a significant role. The correlation between legal nihilism and income levels highlights the urgency of implementing targeted interventions to foster a culture of legal compliance and respect for the rule of law.

Relational legal consciousness in the one-child nation

AbstractThis article draws from a qualitative study of people's responses to China's population control policies to analyze the relational formation of legal consciousness within and across different types of relationships. It demonstrates that our expectations of others and theirs of us regarding how to respond to law change significantly when we situate ourselves in different types of relationships. The fluid boundaries of relationships in Chinese society also make it essential to think and plan relationally and holistically across different types of relationships to come up with strategies to resist or comply with the law. During this process of relational formation of legal consciousness, law interacts with and reshapes social norms to determine the (un)availability of alternative mechanisms based on the individual's social and financial status.

Factors of formation of legal consciousness in Russia in the 18th - first half of the 19th centuries.

The article deals with the peculiarities of formation of legal consciousness in Russia. The problem of human rights was raised in the 18th century among the noble elite, who realised the need for political rights for protection from arbitrary power. With the exception of Radishchev's book, where the theory of natural law was consistently applied, the problem of civil human rights was indirectly sounded only within the framework of university courses of natural law, which to some extent influenced the formation of legal consciousness of the enlightened strata of society. Reformation projection of Alexander I did not change the legal situation in essence. The usurpation of political issues by Nicholas I led to the transformation of legal discourse into ethical discourse, although Nicholas I himself for some time considered natural law discourse acceptable. In theoretical terms, the identification of natural law with the idea of natural human rights is not quite legitimate: natural law doctrine does not assert the necessity and unconditional nature of human rights. The concept of natural human rights as a political conclusion emerged in the New Age and was developed during the Enlightenment, which was taken up in Russia by Radishchev and the Decembrists, and then left public discourse for a long time. The anti-legalism and paternalism rooted in the public consciousness, the lack of a stable original liberal tradition determined the generally low legal culture of society, weak legal public discourse, which was reflected in the limited nature of reforms, the dependent state of legal institutions and the system of legal proceedings, and the underdevelopment of representation.

The Concept, Essence and Digital Reality of Ordinary Legal Consciousness

The process of formation and development of legal consciousness is one of the main elements of the development of public consciousness in general, it helps to reach new levels of collective evolution. The development of public consciousness went through many stages, it can be defined as follows: from mythological, and then traditional consciousness to logical and legal consciousness. The category of legal consciousness, widely used in legal discourse, acts primarily as a characteristic of the sociolegal way of being a person. Legal consciousness, considered as a process, implicitly contains an initially defined meaning of law, encoded in the goal-setting and ideological position of the subject as a legal creature. In modern domestic jurisprudence, issues related to the understanding of legal consciousness, its essence and structure, have been developed to a certain extent. However, this does not mean that there is no space for their further study, taking into account the new methodology and changing social realities. In their works, various authors express positions that legal consciousness should be considered as a complex, in relations of interaction with law: one depends on the other equally. At the same time, it should be noted that legal consciousness is also influenced by non-legal factors that have a huge impact on the formation of legal consciousness, namely: ideological, cultural, religious, historical, material and economic, historical factors. Combining, all of the above factors form the levels of development of ordinary legal consciousness, both personal and public. The choice of legal means and, as a result, the effectiveness of the types of legal activities of the individual and society as a whole depends on the level of development of ordinary legal consciousness. In this article, the Author analyzes one of the levels of legal consciousness, namely ordinary legal consciousness. Special attention is paid by the Author to the views of legal scholars regarding the “concept” and “essence” of ordinary legal consciousness. The construction of legal consciousness, its specificity, characteristic features, as well as factors influencing its development and formation are considered. In his work, the Author reveals the features of ordinary legal consciousness, and also comes to the conclusion that ordinary legal consciousness is a phenomenon based on the subjective reflection of an objectively existing and developing reality by an individual.

Legal culture is closely connected with the social organization of society and is largely determined by the state and level of legal consciousness of people. The critical state of legal consciousness is one of the indicators of a low level of legal culture. It is well known that legal culture implies knowledge of the basic principles of law, awareness of the fundamental provisions of the current legislation and the ability to apply them. The lack of a legal base for the most important social relations, as well as the necessary knowledge of the most important legal norms, the provisions of the current legislation among subjects or citizens leads to the fact, that they cannot exercise their rights, without knowing about their rights and obligations, they will not be able to protect their legitimate interests.

Exploring the Model of Legal Consciousness Formation Among Foreigners Working in Poland. Preliminary Insights

The article focuses on the formation of legal consciousness among economic migrants from third countries to Poland as an important factor that contributes to their integration in the host country. First, the concept of legal consciousness is discussed, and a migration-adjusted model of how it is formed is proposed. As special emphasis is put on legal knowledge, an overview of the legal provisions of migration employment law is presented. Finally, based on articles and reports on economic migration to Poland, we ascertain how migrants acquire legal knowledge, what the flow of information is, where interferences are and how they impact migrants’legal consciousness. Based on articles and reports, we identify possible breakdowns in the information flow between key labour market actors (e.g. employers, public offices that manage the formal side of the employment process, and intermediaries, such as temporary employment agencies) and migrants. The complexity of regulations often leaves employers and foreign workers dependent on intermediaries. Without knowing the applicable legal provisions, much less understanding them, migrants tend to lack all types of legal knowledge. Thus, they may develop attitudes and legal consciousness based on false premises, further impacting their legal status in the host country. Even if they acquire knowledge, its quality can be questioned due to the fraud and deception that are often reported. Particularly troublesome is the limited contact between public offices and migrants, depriving them of reliable legal information.

Forming public control over the activities of local self-government bodies as a factor in the formation of legal culture in Ukraine

The article examines the process of forming public control over the activities of local self-government bodies as a factor in the formation of legal culture in Ukraine The author notes that the legal culture of Ukrainian citizens is directly related to the process of acquiring quality knowledge in creative legal mechanisms and general legislative systems, and each of them develops professional skills and the ability to apply what you have learned. That is, it is essentially reduced to the required professional level. It is proven that today the law plays an increasingly important role as an important regulator of social relations, but the economic, political and social instability of the country exacerbates the legal nihilism of the objects of public control. The author comes to the conclusion that in Ukraine, the dynamics of all subjects of public control regarding the active formation of legal consciousness and legal culture must constantly increase, because without them it is impossible to achieve the set goals. The legal culture of the objects of public control is the basis of the new Ukrainian society. After all, citizens are the only elements that can form the state and legal order, thanks to which the Constitution and legislation of Ukraine come into force. The successful solution of these tasks depends on many factors, but mainly on the level of organization of legal education and the level of education of the subjects of public control. Questions related to the formation of a legal culture will remain relevant, the need to study them directly follows from the constitutional declaration of Ukraine as a legal state. This determines the need for every citizen and every official to have a high level of legal culture.
