Abstract
This article analyzes the transformation of legal socialization in the context of digitalization through the lens of a socio-philosophical approach. Online communication is becoming a key factor influencing the emergence of new forms and methods of legal socialization. It provides access to a vast array of legal information, a diversity of views on the essence of law and legal phenomena, and a variety of legal interpretations. At the same time, the internet also provides the preconditions for the emergence of negative phenomena, such as legal nihilism and pessimism. The article notes the importance of understanding the inevitability of the coexistence of primary, traditional legal socialization and secondary legal socialization based on online communication. Moreover, the impact of online communication can both strengthen and weaken the results of primary socialization. The article examines interactive, discussion-based communication among both lawyers and laypersons as an important characteristic of online legal socialization. This article demonstrates the inextricable link between legal socialization and legal awareness, and examines the risks and conditions under which legal awareness can deteriorate. The article focuses on the institutional aspects of legal socialization in the online space and the role of government agencies and public organizations in creating the conditions for developing a mature legal awareness.
