The manner of law realization in the context of legal praxeology: a general theoretical aspect

In the context of the praxeology of law, as a theory of effective legal activity, legal realization is considered through its structural components, namely the subject, the object, the manner in which the activity is carried out, the result and the purpose of the activity. The proposed article considers such a component of law realization activity as the manner of law realization. In legal literature, the term «manner of law realization» is used in definitions of such concepts as observance, execution, use of legal norms, and law enforcement, which are traditionally called forms of law realization, as a matter of course. That is, the concept of «manner of law realization» is generic for these concepts. Also, there is no clear understanding of the relationship between such concepts as «types» and «forms» of law realization.

It is concluded that the manner of law realization as a certain mode of action of legal subjects will be determined by the specific legal norm that is being realized. In the process of law realization of rights and obligations of legal subjects, which determine the rule fixed in the disposition of legal norms, are transformed into life in the practical behavior of people and their associations. At the same time, the character of the subjects’s behavior, the degree of their activity depends on the manner of legal regulation (as the primary means of influencing people’s behavior), which is used in the disposition of one or another legal norm that is realized. In law, there are three universal manners of legal regulation: permission, obligation, and prohibition. To regulate the same behavior, it is impossible to apply (due to their incompatibility) several basic manners of legal regulation at once. Based on this, we can define three methods of law enforcement as use, observance, and execution, which in legal literature are traditionally called forms of law enforcement.

Use as a manner of law realization is related to the realization of legal norms, which are built on the basis of such a manner of legal regulation as a permit (authorizing legal norms). Observance as a manner of law realization is related to the realization of legal norms, which are built on the basis of such a manner of legal regulation as prohibition (prohibitory legal norms). Execution as a manner of law realization is related to the realization of legal norms, which are built on the basis of such a manner of legal regulation as obligations (binding norms of law). It is justified that law enforcement is not a form (that is, a manner) of law realization, but a type of law realization. According to the criterion of the possibility or impossibility of law realization without the involvement of special entities (law enforcement entities), two types of legal enforcement can be distinguished: direct (simple) and indirect (complex).

Key words: law realization, praxeology of law, manner of law realization, manner of legal regulation, legal norm, disposition of the norm of law, form of law realization.
