SOME THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE CRISIS OF LAW IN THE MODERN WORLD

Introduction: The status of law in the modern world raises serious public concern. The characteristics of this status are erosion of the monopolistic role of state in legal regulation and in the implementation of such state powers as the creation of law and administration of justice, rising crime rate and legal nihilism, and the substitution of international law with law of individual national jurisdictions, etc. Materials and Methods: the aim of this article is to summarize some results of studying the crisis in law contained in the literature, to attempt to trace their genesis and the main features, to uncover the causes and assess the possible ways out of the crisis. The methodological basis of research is the dialectical method, based on the analysis of contradictions of social development and evaluation of transition of quantitative changes in qualitative ones, historical, systematic and comparative legal analysis. The results: the crisis of law is seen as the discrepancy between legal norms and requirements of social life. The manifestation of it is that law is not perceived as a whole, but it represents a set of rules, formally united only by a legal technique. The erosion of the monopolistic role of the state in legal regulation, in such exclusively state powers as the creationof law and the administration of justice is one of the main causes of the crisisDiscussion and Conclusion: the discussion of the crisis in the scientific literature revealed several symptoms of the crisis that are analyzed in the article. The first symptom is a conflict of values when the values adapted by law are in conflict with the new system of values shared by the greater part of society. The second symptom is the presence of intersectoral contradictions, which finds expression not only in the value conflict but also in actual legal conflict between different principles. The third symptom is a decrease in the effectiveness of law in regulating social relations and protecting basic values of law. The fourth symptom of the crisis is associated with the ratio of conceptualism and instrumentalism in law. Finally, the fifth sign of the crisis is the decreased motivation to exercise law. The author sees the change of paradigm in modern law as the way out of the crisis in the law.
