Abstract.  Social and legal competence is a flexible and multifaceted quality of personality that allows a person to actively participate in the social and legal life of society. It gives the opportunity to exercise one’s rights and obligations, as well as regulate one’s behavior in accordance with social and legal norms. This helps to successfully solve current problems in this area. In modern society, where social and legal institutions are constantly developing, the formation of such competence in adolescents becomes an important task for specialists. It is necessary to take into account the main problems that may arise in the process of forming social and legal competence .Socio-legal competence is formed based on the experience and activities of the highest school students. To this end, it is necessary to create conditions for high school students to show social and legal activity, since the acquisition of competencies is directly related to pedagogical innovations in the content, forms and technologies of education and training. Socio-legal competence, as one of the aspects of socio-legal culture, shows an individual’s willingness and ability to behave lawfully and solve socio-legal problems. Socio-legal culture, which significantly influences lawful behavior, forms knowledge, beliefs, values and attitudes among high school students that determine their attitude to law and its role in society. The article reveals the essential and substantive aspects of the concept of “socio-legal competence” and suggests methods for its formation among students. The author focuses on the functional and substantive relationship between socio-legal competence and socio-legal culture of the individual and substantiates the influence of socio-legal culture on the legitimate behavior of high school students.

Keywords: socio-legal competence, methods of socio-legal competence, legal monitoring and its criteria, assessment of regulatory impact, socio-legal culture, lawful behavior.
