Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper discusses the meaning and structural components of such concepts as legal culture and legal awareness. The authors review main approaches to defining these two concepts, outline their characteristics and distinctive features. It is emphasized that the phenomena have specific features in transit societies, in which the sense of justice is of particular importance since it, in many respects, ensures the legal order and evolutionary character of social transformations. In addition, the paper focuses on the interrelation of legal culture and legal awareness.
