Doctrinal foundations of realization of law: current state and research prospects

Introduction. The article is analyzed the current state of research into the category of «realization of law» in domestic theoretical legal science and the conclusion is made about the need to form a holistic system of scientifically based knowledge about realization of law (theory of realization of law) on the latest scientific and methodological principles. Despite a number of scientific works of domestic legal theorists regarding realization of law, the literature draws attention to the insufficient theoretical level of scientific development and the ambiguity of approaches to understanding various aspects of the category of realization of law, which, in turn, negatively affects legal practice. A modern trend in domestic legal science is a significant worldview and methodological rethinking of traditional dogmatic ideas about the content of legal concepts and the formation of individual theories (doctrines) within the general science of legal theory, in particular, the theory of realization of law.
The aim of the article is to outline the theoretical and methodological foundations of further scientific development of the category of realization of law, which in the future can become the basis for the formation of the theory of realization of law as a holistic, coherent system of scientific knowledge about realization of law.
Results. First of all, the very concept of «realization of law», which depends on different approaches to understanding the concept of law, needs to be clarified.
Clarifying the meaning of the concept of realization of law, one should proceed from the fact that law-making and realization of law are two interdependent and interconnected aspects of the life of the rule of law. The center of the legal norm is its disposition, the rule of conduct that determines the rights and obligations of the subjects of legal relations. Therefore, the content of realization of law is, first of all, the implementation of the disposition of the legal norm into the actual rights and obligations of the subjects of the relevant legal relations. The praxeological approach has a methodological significance in the study of realization of law as a legal activity.
Realization of law from the point of view of law praxeology should be considered in the context of its structural components (subject, object, way in which the activity is carried out, the result and purpose of the activity), as well as the relation between the purpose and the result as the effectiveness of legal implementation.
Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research, it is proposed to single out two main directions of prospective scientific research on realization of law. First, the center of realization of law is the person, their rights and obligations, not an impersonal legal norm. Secondly, an important moment in the formation of the theory of realization of law is its praxeological (activity) aspect.

Key words: realization of law, norm of law, disposition of the norm of law, subjective right, legal obligation, legal praxeology, legal activity, juridical activity.
