legal press

Legal awareness, which is a set of reliable knowledge about the current law and the ways of its implementation in specific relations, is intended to form and enhance the competence of specialists who, by virtue of their professional duties, are constantly guided by it. The purpose of the study is to highlight the audience features of legal press publications in Ukraine which contribute to the development of legal literacy of specialists of non-legal professions.

The problem of clarifying the correct use of the concepts of legal, law, and judicial for a clear purpose is currently in the field of interest of legal scholars, linguists, and terminologists. Communicators are also involved in the detailed study of this issue, for whom clarifying this issue is important and necessary for further media research of various kinds. The disagreement among scholars on the use of these concepts is explained, in our opinion, primarily by the not entirely clear establishment of the general term field in the domain of judicial («legal») science.
