The relevance of the study is determined by the dynamics of social environment development and the need for the legal system to respond to the changes including digitalization of all types of communication that take place in society. The authors assert that with transformations caused by digitalization (especially in such legally and socially significant areas as lawmaking), spontaneous changes in legislation should be avoided. This principle formulated the purpose of the study - to identify the priorities of legal policy in the field of digitalization of lawmaking. To solve the tasks, the authors apply the methods of system analysis, formal logic, and synthesis. Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions have been obtained. The system of legal policy priorities allows to select the right means of its implementation, and the methodology of system analysis is well suited for prioritization. This methodology offers a scheme for optimizing legal regulation, on the basis of which the authors have identified the priorities of legal policy in the field of digitalization of lawmaking.
