Abstract
Current issues related to legal sources (forms) such as legal custom and normative agreements are considered. It was noted that various forms of law form a cohesive system of sources, each of which contributes to the legal regulation of public relations. The diversity of legal forms reflects the richness of humanity’s legal experience and the ability of legal mechanisms to adapt to changing conditions of social reality. It is emphasized that legal custom and normative agreements possess significant regulatory potential alongside other forms (sources) of law. The issue of the combination and mutual influence of normative agreements and legal custom has been investigated, which allows the legal system to demonstrate the necessary flexibility and respond promptly to changes in the social, economic, and political spheres. It is concluded that the uniqueness of a normative agreement and legal custom, their specific features and characteristics of legal regulation, give rise to the diversity of legal instruments used to regulate social relations, alongside a normative legal act and judicial precedent.
