LEGAL TECHNOLOGY AS A SCIENTIFIC DIRECTION IN NATIONAL JURISPRUDENCE

Abstract

In the modern world, more and more attention is paid to the problems of social technologies both in the field of science and in the field of practical activity. A distinct type of social technologies is legal technology, which can be considered, firstly, as a purposeful activity carried out through legal means, aimed at changing legal reality, secondly, as a certain scientific direction of legal research, thirdly, as an academic discipline. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need to consider legal technology as a scientific direction in national jurisprudence, identifying its features as a system of knowledge, defining the object, subject and method of legal technology, considering the principles and functions of legal technology as an independent scientific direction. Research methods: to achieve this goal, philosophical methods (dialectical logic), general scientific methods (formal logic, structural-functional, systemic, historical methods), specific scientific methods (sociological, linguistic) and special legal methods (formal legal, legal forecasting, interpretation of law) are used. Results: the conducted research allows us to conclude that legal technology as a system of interrelated knowledge has specific features of a substantive, methodological, functional nature; it has a system of its own characteristics and principles, which allows it to be considered as an independent direction of scientific knowledge. Legal technology is a scientific direction that studies the processes of purposeful influence on social relations, exercised by legal entities in a special way, with the help of special legal means to achieve the predicted (planned) legal results.
