Purpose. To show the structural organization of the worldview foundations of law, the meaning of the legal worldview. Methodology: general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis are used. Conclusions. The legal worldview is the integration of relevant components of legal consciousness that systematically reflect the understanding of the interaction of man and law, the place, significance, and rights in the life of an individual and society. Worldview ideas embodied in the fundamental values, principles of functioning of the legal system are ideally the main semantic reference point for the implementation of professional activities of a lawyer. The structure of the legal worldview includes: the value bases of law, the social purpose of law (the presence of law as a social phenomenon), the knowledge of law and legal phenomena (a condition for the development of human ideas about the world of law), the teleology of the worldview of legal activity. Functions of the legal worldview: formation of ideas and ideas about social ideals, values, attitudes; creation of value orientations of legal activity; formation of a legal picture of the world and a systematic assessment of legal reality. Scientific and practical significance. The results of the research allow us to fix the universal value of the worldview in the assessment of law as a social phenomenon, show the inextricable connection between the value bases of law and the goals of legal activity.
