The relevance of the article is that when forming a theoretical and legal position on the content of a phenomenon or object, the issue of its settlement by law is especially important. The study of various aspects of judges' pensions has shown the key role of the normative component in the content of this problem, through which the legal reality establishes its influence on the relations arising in the field of pensions of judges. It should be noted that the legal regulation is characterized by the following features: it is, first, the impact of law on public relations, which is carried out through a separate group of legal instruments - legal norms; secondly, normative-legal regulation is a part of complex legal influence, in other words, it shows only one of clusters of legal regulation of the corresponding object; thirdly, the intensity, efficiency, breadth and other mechanical factors of legal regulation directly depend on the quality and system of legal provisions and norms that build the content of the category. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists, proposes the author's definition of the concept of legal regulation of judges' pensions. The main normative-legal acts of the legislative and by-law level which fix the principles of regulation of public relations in the field of pension provision of judges are singled out. It is concluded that the main feature of the legal regulation of judges' pensions is the presence of two groups of legal documents, namely: general, which establish guarantees of social protection and pensions in Ukraine as a whole, led by the Constitution, and special - the Law of Ukraine "On Judiciary and the Status of Judges" dated 02.06.2016 №1402-VIII, documents of judicial self-government bodies - establish the peculiarities of judges receiving pensions and monthly lifetime allowance. At the same time, the disadvantage of the special legal framework is the lack of norms that clearly explain the procedure and features of both types of pensions for judges, by paying them pensions in the general order and a monthly lifetime allowance. In particular, the special normative-legal base does not explain the content of the monthly lifetime cash maintenance and the main points of its legal significance.
