Synergy of legal impact

Abstract

Introduction. The modern legal system is unthinkable without the creation, transmission, exchange, movement of legal information. Indeed, the full cycle of legal development (from legal thinking to law enforcement) implies the perception, creation, change, transfer of legal information. Through legal influence a permanent and multidirectional movement of legal information is carried out, as well as its reflection in the legal consciousness of the subject and subsequent incarnation in behavior. The significance and role of legal influence is clearly manifested precisely in the fact that legal information, for example, contained in the text of the legal norm, being brought to the consciousness of a person, becomes an effective force directing and regulating the behavior of the subject.

Materials and methods. Universal (philosophical), general scientific, private scientific (private law) methods of cognition were used in the research process, including dialectical, logical and formal-legal methods. The specificity of the subject of the study led to the use of information and systems approach.

Results. The author formulates the definition of legal information as a set of information and other data that are presented in legal acts, regulatory and technical, reference and scientific materials, as well as legal information created and transmitted by subjects in the course of their interaction, which results in the streamlining of social relations of subjects. It is noted that legal information may be formal and informal.

Discussion and conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion that the synergy of legal influence is the effect of increasing efficiency through the use of interconnection and mutual reinforcement of the «work» of different elements and components of legal influence based on the movement of legal information.
