The problem of legal understanding in modern society: Administrative aspect

Halyna Khavarivska
Abstract

The author highlights various approaches of scholars to the interpretation of the concept of "legal understanding", its features, types, functions, object, subjects and content, which include the essence, cognition, awareness of law, content of legal understanding and its role in the regulation of social relations, characteristics, signs and features of manifestations of understanding of law. The author establishes that the awareness of legal reality through the prism of legal theories, doctrines and concepts is important and relevant in determining legal understanding, since its implementation and application in practice by civil servants depends on the understanding of law
