Some trends in developments in the field of law in post-industrial societies

summary. The author analyses trends in developments in the field of law in post-industrial societies, such as the unification of the law based on a global phenomenon of acquiring values rooted in other cultures, known as acculturation, the standardisation of legal life across society, and legal integration. This last example means that an intrastate legal framework enters into an alliance with international legal frameworks. The article emphasises that a post-industrial future of the law requires us to reconsider some concepts, to specify notions, and to solve new problems such as, for example, that of an obligatory narrowing of different legal frameworks. It also highlights the need to consider the law with due account for changing reality and the trends of the future, to expand the scope of problems to be researched, and to develop an adequate methodology. Keywords: law of the post-industrial society, standardisation of the law, legal acculturation, pluralistic law, unification of the law.
