In the article, from the position of the methodology of chrono-discrete mono-geography comparative jurisprudence, a comparative analysis of representations about the court as an element of the legal culture of society in the Russian Empire in the second half of the XIX century is conducted and the Russian Federation at the end of the XX - beginning of the XXI century. The legal culture of the Russian population of the studied historical periods has always been reactive with respect to judicial reforms. The judicial reform of 1864 in the Russian Empire and the modern judicial reform in the Russian Federation were reflected and reflected in the legal consciousness and legal culture of the population. The author concludes that talking about the mapping of the judicial sphere of society in the legal culture follows in terms of knowledge (representations) and axiology. As for knowledge, in the Russian Empire and the Russian Federation their level varies considerably. This is a consequence of a different level of education in the studied periods, a different level and technology of the mass media. In addition, a purposeful and highly effective policy is being pursued to improve the legal literacy of the population. With all this, with respect to the judicial sphere, the position of the population of the Russian Empire and modern Russia turned out to be similar.
