The provision of electronic legal services: The problem of human size

Abstract

The electronic legal technologies, which have burst into the legal services market in recent years and have received the designation in English «legal tech», have created new realities of existence of this market. The rapidity and, at the same time, the massive development of innovative electronic technologies haven't allowed scholars studying this field to fully understand and even describe the phenomenon that has arisen yet. The goal of the work is to describe and problematize phenomenon of the digitalization of the sphere of legal services in the cultural context of Russian-speaking society. The main method of scientific research was the deductive method, which is identifying and evaluating the phenomena of digitalization of legal activity from the position of general philosophical pictures of the world. With which it is possible not only to identify and evaluate, but also to predict the development of situations associated with the advent of electronic legal services. The main philosophical categories, with the help of which the electronic legal reality was cognized, were: «human dimensionality», «alienation», «domestication». Methodology: The deductive method became the basic method of scientific research in connection with the authors' task to transfer the general philosophical judgments to the restricted professional sphere of a single social phenomenon. The methodology of scientific research included such basic logical methods as: Induction, analogy method, historical method and reflection method.
