Realization of law as a category of law and phenomenon of social reality

It is emphasized that the realization of law is the main legal category, which is the subject of research of jurisprudence in general and means the realization of law, its ideas and principles in real social relations. At the same time, taking into account its essence and content, it is simultaneously included in the conceptual apparatus of individual branches of law, within which the legal personality is realized, legal influence on specific social relations is exercised.

Currently, the realization of law can be described as a multidimensional phenomenon that combines elements of social behavior, legal activity and an instrument of legal influence. It is not only the final stage of legal regulation, but also a criterion for the effectiveness of the law as a whole. As a category of law, the implementation of law has a normative reflection in the current legislation, covers the mechanisms for the practical use of rights and the performance of duties, and is also part of the mechanism of legal regulation, covers the system of forms, methods, means and results of actions of subjects in the legal field.

As a category of law, the realization of law should be considered not only in a static aspect, as the final stage of legal regulation, but also in a dynamic one — as a process of interaction of the legal norm, the social environment and the legal awareness of subjects. Its essence is formed through the legitimate activity of the subjects of social relations, aimed at translating the norms of law into reality and manifested through its institutional (subjects), normative (legal prescriptions) and effective (acts of implementation) components. Its dynamics are manifested in the form of lawful behavior and in legally significant results.

The realization of law is not only a legal, but also a social process, which is mediated by the legal consciousness, values, motivation and culture of legal entities. In this context, it is an important instrument of legal influence on society.

At the same time, the establishment of the realization of law as a system category is impossible without taking into account the interdisciplinary approach: sociological, psychological, axiological and philosophical. This provides a deeper understanding of its significance in the context of law and order, law and social justice.

Key words: realization of law, category of law, legal category, action of law, legal regulation, legal influence.
