Abstract

The existence of legal psychology makes the actual problem of the relationship between the spirit of law and the letter of the law. The author uses a spiritual and moral approach, which overcomes the formalism and shortcomings of the materialistic vision of law. When it is argued that the law can regulate only what can be controlled from the outside, make a significant mistake, because the regulatory impact of the law objectively and does not depend on whether we notice its consequences or not. Legal psychology "works" in the inner world of the individual, despite the possibility of external fixation of the process. In law-making subjects Express the legal psychology of society, including themselves. The entire Arsenal of legal equipment is formed in such a way as to facilitate the psychological perception of the addressees of acts of law. The need to interpret the law and the existence of judicial discretion also make legal psychology relevant. Legal relationship – not just external physical actions-entering into legal relations, the subjects give each other their psychological content. All sources of law reflect the national psychology of a particular people. The application of the institution of legal responsibility is entirely permeated with psychological aspects.
