The paper criticizes the relatively recent view that traditional legal norms cannot be applied to public relations regulation in cyberspace. Researchers are debating whether it is permissible to regulate relationships arising from the use of computer technologies, such as cryptocurrency turnover and other relationships on the blockchain platform, by means of law. Opponents of legal regulation of cryptocurrency turnover refer to the impossibility of regulating computer technology by legal means. It is known that the lack of legal regulation of public relations is no less harmful than their overregulation. The author analyzes classical, "modernist", and eclectic approaches to the legal regulation of public relations in cyberspace. According to the author, public relations in the web space, including those that arise on the blockchain platform, can be regulated not only by national laws, but also by two special new sources of law — computer code (lex informatica) and special customs of cyberspace (lex electronica). Regulation by codes and special customs, which are concentrated on the Internet, gradually form a supranational law of cyberspace. Since the law, algorithmic code, and special customs of cyberspace are different sources of law, the point of view of those researchers who write about the decline of legal regulation and its replacement by code regulation is unfounded. It is premature to conclude that the law is dying out in the transition of contractual relations to cyberspace. Lawrence Lessig’s expression "Code is law" is correct in the sense that code is only one possible source of law.

This article examines the issues of differentiation of legislative and subordinate regulation of public relations. It is noted that in the process of law-making activities, including the legislative process, practical questions often arise about the competence of various state bodies to establish various legal norms and rules. These issues are related to the need to establish a clear legal meaning of the constitutional norms devoted to the definition of the subject of regulation of laws. In particular, there is a need to clarify the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of the concepts "the most important public relations", "all other relations", "subsidiary legislation", as well as to establish the relationship between these concepts. Interpretation is also required by the provisions of p. 4 of Article 61 of the Constitution in terms of clarifying the question of whether the conclusion follows from mentioned provisions that all possible social relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to legal regulation, including those that are subject to other social and technical regulators (morality, national, business and professional traditions and customs, religion, standards, technical regulations, etc.). Answering the questions raised, the author emphasizes that the law and bylaws, as a rule, constitute a single system of legislation, performing the functions of primary and secondary acts. However, the secondary nature of subsidiary legislation does not mean that they regulate "unimportant" public relations. The law is essentially aimed at regulating all important social relations.

We consider the constitutional principles of Russian law in the framework of positivist legal consciousness. We note the highest value of the law constitutional principles, as the basic ideas that underlie individual branches of law and all legal regulation. We focus on the practical significance of the constitutional principles of Russian law. We point out that in order to overcome defects in the legal consciousness of the population, it is advisable to duplicate the law principles that enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and in sectoral legislation. We emphasize that the practical significance of the law constitutional principles is manifested not only in their direct role in the legal regulation of public relations, but also in the fact that in judicial practice they can be used in the case of applying the analogy of law and the analogy of legislation. We indicate that this legal and technical tool is used to fill gaps in legal regulation. It is used in many branches of Russian law: civil, civil procedural, arbitration procedural, ad-ministrative procedural, family and others. Thus, the study shows the positive role of law constitutional principles in decision-making by a law enforcer in the absence of sectoral legal norms applicable in a particular situation.

The article deals with the problems of becoming a tourist law of Ukraine, as well as its primary category – the rules of touristlaw. In particular, the concept, features and structure of the rules of tourist law are defined. The classification of the rules of tourist lawaccording to different characteristics. It is established that the structure of the norm of tourist law from the point of view of its logicalconstruction is represented by the three-element architectonics of the legal norm, according to which it consists of disposition, hypo -thesis and sanction. The examples of the structure of the tourist legal norm based on the results of the analysis of the current normativelegal acts of Ukraine governing the relations in the sphere of tourism are given. The characteristic of the norms of tourist law accordingto the proposed classification is made.In addition, it is noted that the complex branch of tourism law in systemic-structural architecture is differentiated both in termsof the dialectical combination of public and private law, and in terms of synergetic of substantive and procedural rules within the frameworkof tourist law. After all, any substantive norm requires its proper and effective procedural fixing and provision, which reinforcesthe basic general laws of formation of a complex branch of tourist law as a broad, multi-objective, interdisciplinary determined legalphenomenon of mixed type.The logical conclusion is that modern political-legal and socio-economic processes and global challenges lead to significantchanges in law-making and actualize problems of formation, development, organization and functioning of complex branches of lawin the legal system of Ukraine. This objectively determines the significant changes in the system of law, the emergence of new branchesof it, integrative legal entities, including the cross-sectoral nature. Among them, the set of legal norms that regulate public relations inthe sphere of tourism play an important role. Accumulating various activities related to the creation, distribution, exchange and consumption of the tourism product, as well as the corresponding resources, markets, public institutions, the scope of legal regulation isexpanding and, as a result, a relatively independent new branch of law – tourism, is formed. In this context, it is logical to study its primarycategory – the rules of tourist law.Therefore, the study of the rules of tourist law, the definition of the concept, features and structure of the rules of tourist law, aswell as their classification on various grounds will strengthen our assertion about the separation of the complex branch of tourist lawin the domestic system of law. It is also an important step that will lead to a revival of sound scientific research in this field, on the basisof which it would be advisable to reform the legislation in the field of tourism, which would meet the real challenges of today.

The subject. The article studies legal fictions from the point of view of their correlation with ideological sources of law.The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that legal fictions may be described as one of the ideological sources of law.The methodological basis for the study includes analysis and synthesis, interpretation of legal literature.Results, scope of application. Legal fictions are legal provisions enshrined in the text of regulatory legal acts in the form of separate regulatory regulations. They play an important role in lawmaking and in the mechanism of legal regulation. Fictions perform the function of protecting various interests and the function of procedural economy, contribute to the rapid and correct resolution of the case on the merits, have the necessary impact on the participants of the proceedings.Legal fictions have their own set of features. They are characterized by a) the deliberate falsity of the assumption; b) this assumption is legally irrefutable, the possibility of proving the opposite is excluded; c) the assumption is legal. provided for in regulatory legal acts; d) assumption, which is given the importance of legal facts.The ideological significance of legal fictions as sources of law is manifested in the fact that they are associated with legal norms, in the content of many of them; this is a special kind of legal norm, in the content of which there is a certain fiction; fictions are one of the means of formalization of normative material and simplification of the structure of actual compositions. Legal fictions are widely used in the gaps in the law, are one of the ways to effectively fill them.Legal fictions bring clarity to the legal regulation of public relations, being a necessary part of legal regulation. Fictions participate in legal regulation in two forms (types): through theoretical and practical (normative) constructions. Theoretical fictions, being a part of the legal doctrine, act as independent regulators (for example, constructions of the legal entity, the state, etc.). Legal fictions perform certain functions. They eliminate the uncertainty in the legal regulation; they help to simplify legal relations and make legal regulation stable and stable; they help to translate everyday reality into legal reality; they help to simplify legal relations and make legal regulation stable and stable.Conclusions. Legal fiction can be considered an ideological source of law, if we consider it as a legal fact, its variety. But this characteristic is not prevailing among other significant properties of legal fictions.

The subject of the article concerns the assessment of the effectiveness of law.       The purpose of the article is to identify indicators that reflect the effectiveness of the law.The methodology of the research includes complex analysis of scientific legal literature, synthesis of ideas as well as formal-legal method of interpretation of legal acts.The main results and scope of their application. More than 2500 existing normative legal acts of the Russian Federation contain various requirements for improving the efficiency of legal regulation. The complexity of the study is caused by the lack of a common understanding of the phenomenon. The effectiveness of the law is often understood by many authors as the ability to influence public relations in a certain direction useful for society; or as the ability to influence positively on social relations at the lowest cost; or as fundamental feasibility, predetermined by common knowledge, clarity and consistency of legal norms; the correspondence between the objectives of the legislator and development of social relations.           An indicator of the effectiveness of legislation is a criterion for determining the degree of achievement of the goals and objectives of legal regulation. The indicators that are offered by scientists for assessment the effectiveness of law, has logical defects. These indicators are^ frequency of application of laws that are estimated for the effectiveness (I. Samoshchenko, V. I. Nikitinsky, A. B. Vengerov); measure of conflict regulated by this norm of social relations (V. Lapaeva); proportional ratio of the number of facts of lawful behavior to the number of cases of illegal behavior (T. Geiger and E. Hirsch), etc.Conclusions. The following formula can be proposed to determine the effectiveness of the law: effectiveness = LR2–LR1, where: LR1 - initial legal relations, and LR2 – the state of legal relations on the current date. Effectiveness can be measured in this formula in a number of violations and satisfied claims and complaints. There is no direct connection with the goal of legal regulation in this formula but it is possible, to trace the dynamics of the effectiveness of law with this formula by using statistics data.

The article is devoted to the problem of the inconsistency of the Russian imperative model of active legal capacity, according to which the content of active legal capacity in case of its restriction due to mental disability of a person is prescribed by the law, to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ratified by Russia in 2012. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the shortcomings of the imperative model, the main of which is the lack of authority of the Russian court to individually determine the consequences of restriction of active legal capacity of a person due to mental disorder, taking in account degree of actual decrease of his cognitive and volitional abilities. This purpose is achieved by the consistent implementation of the following tasks. First of all, characteristic of the Russian imperative model of active legal capacity is given. Secondly, the French dispositive model of legal capacity is described. In this model the forms of legal protection, but not the categories of active legal capacity, incapacitation and restricted active legal capacity are the backbone concepts for the legal regulation of this group of relationship. It is noted that under the influence of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities the more progressive, from the point of view of international law, forms of this model are stipulated in many foreign countries. Thirdly, the evolved form of the French dispositive model of active legal capacity, implemented in the Bill 18 «An Act to amend the Civil Code, the Code of Civil Procedure, the Public Curator Act and various provisions as regards the protection of persons», that was adopted by the National Assembly of Quebec in 2 June 2020, is analyzed. The main advantage of the latter is that the court, establishing the form of protection, is not bound by the legal norms that imperatively determine the content of active legal capacity of a person with mental disorder. The court is able, based on the cognitive and volitional abilities of particular person, to individually determine which acts person can perform by himself, alone or with the assistance of the tutor, and which one can be performed by the tutor only. The objectives of the study determine the leading role of the comparative legal method in its implementation. The provided research makes possible to assess the perspectives of borrowing of French or Quebec dispositive models of active legal capacity of people with mental disorder by the Russian legislator.

The article explores the legal nature of law principles from the perspective of philosophical and legal analysis. The purpose of the article is to form scientifically based knowledge on the philosophical and legal nature of the category law principle using postclassical methodological tools. Research Methods: The methodology of the article is based on the postclassical scientific rationality. The authors use an integrative approach to the study of legal reality in combination with a phenomenological and synergetic methodology, thereby using a number of general scientific and special scientific methods in a particular logical system, which makes it possible to study law principles both ontologically, in terms of their role in law in general, and epistemologically as well as axiologically. Moreover, the content, functioning and development of law principles are considered phenomenologically, as well as in the context of law communication. Results: The law principle in the ontological aspect is a fundamental form of law, reflecting the most significant ideas concerning regulation of public relations; the law principle is used as a direct regulator along with the rule of law. The epistemological law principle can be interpreted as a generalizing category, reflecting interpretation and assessment of legal reality from the standpoint of postclassical methodology. From an axiological point of view, the law principle embodies the law and social values and traditions that are dominant within the framework of a given socio-cultural chronotope, and is also used as one of the fundamental tools for constructing legal reality and its development. Conclusions: the law nature of law principles is determined with the account of postclassical methodology onto-logically, epistemologically and axiologically, in terms of their dual role in formation, development and construction of legal reality at all of its levels, in the context of both objective and subjective factors. The findings can be applied in drawing up concepts of legal and judicial reforms in terms of targeted construction of legal reality, as well as in the process of predicting the development of the Russian legal system.

Nowadays, the law is being transformed as a regulator of relations. The idea of strengthe-ning the regulatory role of technologies in the field of streamlining public relations is making much headway in the world. This trend is most pronounced in the area of regulation of private relations. The way of such access to the market as crowdfunding is becoming increasingly widespread. The issuing of the so-called secured tokens is becoming popular for both small businesses and private investors. The trust in new ways of attracting investments is condi-tioned by the applied technology - the use of blockchain as a decentralized transparent data-base management system. Under these conditions, there is such a phenomenon as the democ-ratization of property relations. Every individual receives unlimited opportunities to invest via technologies. Thus, legal scholars all over the world face the question about the role of the law and law in these relations? We believe that we are dealing with such a worldwide trend of regulating public relations as the socialization of the law. Specific examples of issuing tokens in Russia and abroad show the main global trends in the transformation of private law. The platformization of economics leads to the tokenization and democratization of property relations. In this aspect, the aim of lawyers should be to create a comfortable legal environment for the implementation of projects aimed at democratizing property relations in Russia. The socialization of private law is aimed at achieving social jus-tice and is manifested in the creation of mechanisms to protect the rights of the weak party and rules to protect private investors. Globalization requires the study of both Russian and foreign law. To confirm their hypothesis, the authors conducted a detailed analysis of the legislation of Russia, Europe and the United States to identify the norms allowing to see the process of socialization of law in the above field. The generalization of Russian and foreign experience showed that when searching for proper legal regulation, the states elect one of the policies. In some countries, direct regulation of ICOs and related emission relations are being created, in others, it is about the extension of the existing legislation to a new changing tokenization relationship. The European Union countries are seeking to develop common rules to create a regulatory environment to attract investors to the crypto industry and protect them. Asian countries are predominantly developing national legislation in isolation from one another, but most of them are following a unified course to encourage investment in crypto assets while introducing strict rules against fraud on financial markets. The emphasis on the protection of the rights of investors or shareholders, token holders by setting a framework, including private law mechanisms, can be called common to all approaches. This is the aim of private law on the way to social justice.
