The content of information in legal relations is expanding due to the achievements of the scientific and technical process and the emergence of new ways of working with legal information. It was found that within the framework of the theory of state and law, it became necessary to formulate general provisions and laws that are applicable to all industries. The main categories of industry-wide character are: information, information security, information technology. The science theory of state and law is designed to develop approaches to understanding and interpreting general theoretical categories and their relationship (personal data and the right to privacy; the limits of using information about a person and citizen and the right to entrepreneurial activity, etc.). It is concluded that information legal relations are characterized by a high risk of negative legal consequences. A hypothesis is stated about the potential of information legal relations to change legal practice in all sectors in the future. One of such technologies has been investigated - blockchain, the legal status of which is not clearly defined. Legal information relations need to be analyzed at the doctrinal level, it is recommended to anticipate a new pool of problems and threats in advance in order to find universal ways to prevent them, suitable for all branches of law. The science “theory of state and law” has the potential to make forecasts for the development of state and legal phenomena, taking into account new technical realities.
