As a result, the research will clearly identify both existing methodological approaches and those that have arisen due to innovations in legal thinking and are able to cover the features of knowledge of law as a social phenomenon.

Results. The structure of legal relations is revealed in a new way, and the significance and significance of legal relations in the legal regulation of public relations and in the general theory of law, the theory of legal relations are determined.

Research implications. It was concluded that legal relations are also significantly a form of existence and implementation of the functions of law - regulatory, protective, informational, ideological, instrumental, etc., an expression of the degree of their implementation in a state-organized society.
