CRITERIA OF JUSTICE IN LAW
The article is devoted to the problems of determining the criteria of justice in law. In the search for a model of a just society, the question of what constitutes justice, what is the etymology of this word, and how justice in law and justice in nature are related does not lose its relevance. The purpose of this work is to identify criteria for social justice. The subject of the study was the works of J. Rawls, I. Kant and other prominent philosophers of law. Using logical and legal methods, the method of analogy and other methods, the author analyzes the concept of justice, identifies the reasons for the need of society to implement the idea of social justice, the conditions under which social justice has its particular significance, and draws attention to the inevitable conflict of individual and public interests. The results of the study concluded that a viable society must be agreed in views on justice, while convergence to the model of a just society is possible only in a society of compliance, when citizens have the highest level of morality and legal consciousness.
