Application of law: towards the problem of terminological definition of the concept

The article, dedicated to the issue of law application in Ukraine, examines the pressing question of the quality of legal regulation. It emphasizes the importance of not only developing and adopting quality laws but also their proper application in practice, which is key to the eff ectiveness of the legal system. The article highlights that correct application of laws can compensate for certain defi ciencies, while improper application can undermine their legal signifi cance. Attention is drawn to the absence of specialized scientifi c research on the issue of law application, although the problem of legal application has long been a subject of study in legal science. The article cites works of scholars who have researched this issue at various stages. The main goal of the article is to illuminate the issue of the absence of a clear and unambiguous understanding of the concept of «application of the law» in the scientifi c community. The authors argue the necessity of clarifying the methodological aspects of developing and formulating this concept. The article analyzes the broad use of the term «application of the law» in legal practice, particularly in the context of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, as well as in court decisions, scientifi c-practical commentaries, and methodological recommendations. Special attention is given to the analysis of cases of applying legal norms, raising questions about the diff erences between the concepts of «application of the law» and «application of a legal norm». Considering the use of the term «application of the law» in general explanatory dictionaries and specialized literature, the authors note its absence in legal terminological dictionaries and legal encyclopedias. Examples are provided from educational and scientifi c literature, where the concept of «application of the law» also has not received adequate representation. The author concludes that in legal theory, the concept of «application of the law» as an independent subject of study does not yet exist. He emphasizes the urgent need for a scientifi c analysis of this concept as a component of the legal regulation process, which can help solve problems in legal practice and contribute to improving the legal regulation of social relations in Ukraine.

Key words: law, legal activity, operation of law, application of law, legal norm.
