Gamification of law as a response to modern challenges of its development

Introduction: despite the fact that the theory of gamification has recently been actively developed in such areas as education, personnel management, management, marketing, there are nostudies aimed at studying the possible impact of the principles of this process on law today. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that modern vectors of legal development associated with the use of universal methods for various spheres of public life are actively used by game mechanics, which makes it possible to ensure the availability of law and increase interest in legal procedures for people of non-legal professions. The purpose ofthe paper is to studythe process ofusing themechanics inherent in gaming activities in relation to legal procedures in modern conditionsofthedevelopment of law. Methods: themethodological framework for the research is a set of methods of scientific cognition, among which the main ones are the method of analysis and the system method. Results: within the framework of the study, the analysis of the development of the theoryof gamification within the framework of various non-legal sciences has been carried out, the definition of the process of “gamification of law” has been proposed, and the aspects of gamification of law have been analyzed. The conclusions obtained as a result of the studyshow that the gamification of law can be traced through the introduction ofgame mechanics into various legal procedures, which allows talking about the presence ofcertain gamemechanisms in thediametricallyopposite legal sphere. This process is most clearlymanifested in the conditions of digital development of law.
