Legal consciousness, legal upbringing and legal education: the paradigm of interdependence
The article examines the relationship and interrelation of such components of social reality as legal upbringing, legal education and legal consciousness.
In recent years, many scientific papers have been published on the problems of legal upbringing and legal consciousness. Nevertheless, legal science needs further thorough research on the legal socialization of man.
The article analyzes the issues of legal consciousness, legal education and legal upbringing. Emphasis is placed on the essence of legal consciousness, a general description of the structure and functions of legal consciousness is provided.
It is stated that everyone has a legal consciousness, regardless of whether they know about it or not. Legal consciousness occupies a special niche in the social life of society, due to law and its impact on social relations. Negative attitude to law, its actions, its significance in society creates a deformation of legal consciousness.
The influence of legal educational activity on the process of both formation and improvement of legal consciousness, as well as on overcoming legal nihilism, is determined.
It is established that legal education is a necessary element of personal access to law, which forms the attitude to law, trains a socially active member of society who knows his rights and opportunities, is able to defend and protect them in all ways. It is substantiated that the formation of a positive, healthy legal consciousness without legal upbringing (education) is impossible.
Keywords: legal upbringing, legal education, legal consciousness, deformation of legal consciousness, legal nihilism.
