Abstract

Legal consciousness as a form of social consciousness formulates the concepts, theories and doctrines historically derived and transformed with the inflection of the economic, political and social regime. It expresses the assessment of the law in force in society. Legal consciousness interacts with other diverse forms of social consciousness: moral, religious, political, etc. The legal sense of the legal conscience is that part of the „inner good“, which directs as an accelerator of behavior, and which guides us in the approval or disapproval of some actions or some social situations, having a legal norm as a report. Legal consciousness is conceived from a pre-established legal order, especially based on valid and current norms in a given society; a distinct normative order that can be coercive and educative and that incorporates obligations and sanctions manifested in the form of primary and secondary norms.
