Impact of Law on Social Relations: Subject and Methods

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of the subject focus of legal regulation and the methods of influencing legally significant social relations used in modern conditions. Based on the systemic methodology and monitoring of the latest judicial practice of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Federal Arbitration Courts, the need to rethink the place of the subject of law in the mechanism of state-normative management is substantiated. With the involvement of literary sources, vulnerable theoretical and practical aspects of the "mechanistic" concept of legal regulation are shown, in which attention is focused on the totality of the authoritative-coercive instruments. At the same time, the advantages of a systematic approach to the subject and methods of influencing law, from the point of view of its humanistic component, are revealed. The use of methods of structural analysis, induction and deduction, legal hermeneutics and comparative studies in their dialectical relationship made it possible to draw conclusions on the topic stated in the title of the article and formulate new scientific provisions. In the conclusions, the author proposes to reconsider the characteristics of social relations, which are the focus of legal regulation in the context of today's realities, and proves, including using examples of specific court cases, the objective need to use modern technologies, primarily information technologies, in the methods of normative-management influence. The inclusion of information and anthropogenic means of interaction in social relations expands the boundaries of the subject of legal regulation, which should be taken into account in the methods of normative-management influence while maintaining legal autonomy and preventing the "dissolution" of jurisprudence in related areas of regulation.
