The article argues the expediency and importance of using the concept of “normal legal awareness” in legal science and practice. An attempt has been made to identify and substantiate its criteria, which make it possible to distinguish between normal (healthy) and abnormal (unhealthy, defective, deformed) legal consciousness. Recommendations are formulated that can be overcome by the relativity criteria of the normality of legal consciousness.
