Technologies of overcoming deformation of professional legal awareness of subjects of legal activities

The paper analyzes the range of technologies for overcoming deformation of professional legal awareness of subject of legal activities based on a variety of scientific trends (psychology, sociology, pedagogics, economics, jurisprudence). There is given the author’s definition of such technologies which can become a universal one and can reflect their essence and subject matter. It is possible to reduce the deforming effect of adverse factors on rational and ideological elements of professional legal awareness by applying such a pedagogical technology as self-development training. Positive changes in psychological and behavioral elements of legal awareness of lawyers may be caused by auto-training, cognitive therapy (psychological technologies); strategic conversations, team building (sociological technologies); estimation of legal activity, development of balanced score cards (performance criteria) (economic technologies). Legal technologies (law-making, law-enforcement, direct-implementing and preventive technologies) have the potential for qualitative change of all structural elements of professional legal awareness in the process of performing legal activity by the subjects.
