Abstract
<jats:p>The relevance of this study is that taking into account dynamic social and globalization changes, the growing importance of legal aspects of the system of international relations and the active development of informatization of society, legal awareness is the main lever of influence on the level of public legal culture. At the same time, legal awareness is the basis of professional activity of the individual, because without awareness of legal principles a person is unable to achieve a high level of his activity. It is worth noting that the issue of legal awareness of student youth must be considered in the context of the direction of educational training. In addition, the relevance of the study of this issue is due to the latest challenges, for example, the need for legal literacy of students in order to ensure compliance with public rights, principles of democratic development of society and the state, overcoming corruption, since all this becomes of exceptional importance in the conditions of martial law in our country. The purpose of the study is to theoretically generalize the psychological characteristics of the legal consciousness of student youth. In the process of writing this article, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis (for decomposing the concept of "legal consciousness" into components and their subsequent combination to form a holistic "portrait" of a modern student), comparative-typological method (for comparing the levels of legal consciousness of students of different specialties), value approach (for analyzing legal consciousness as a system of values), generalization method (for formulating general conclusions). It was found that any person is able to study, perceive and understand the world around him from the position of his worldview principles. It is well known that the understanding of the peculiarities of behavior and self-affirmation in society, as well as the rules of social relations between people in the country, is influenced by the internal beliefs and legal consciousness of the individual. As for student youth, in the process of studying in educational institutions, they master certain professional skills, and also continue the process of internalization. It was found that the development of personal worldview in modern social conditions encourages young people to reassess the historical heritage of the state, the system of values that have existed for many decades and today underlie their legal consciousness. At the same time, changes in worldview allow the formation of legal awareness of student youth, which is considered an important element of their legal culture, which determines the high relevance of this study. It is determined that legal awareness in general is considered a process of reflecting the legal status of an individual and one of the main tools for ensuring the development of the law and order system.</jats:p>
