Energy of legal matter

Legal matter passes through five stages in its movement. Each stage needs scientific reflection, elaboration of its constituent rules of application and improvement. Legal matter passes through the respective stages not because it is inherent in the content of the legal norm at the dictate of the legislator, law enforcer or other external force. By its nature, it is endowed with an inherent power, i.e. legal energy. Legal matter is mobile. Movement is a qualitative characteristic of matter, including legal matter. It is provided by the energy, which is usually accumulated in the norm of law. The accumulated legal energy, just like any other energy, can be realized by transforming (turning) one kind into another. We can trace the forms of such transformation. The literature studies four variants of movement of legal matter, which are realized by 'releasing' the accumulated legal energy accumulated in its individual norms or their totality. Therefore, it is possible to study the structure of legal energy using the forms of legal matter realization known to the legal science. Each of them is possible only by releasing the legal energy accumulated in them, a kind of its "mover". Since science has identified four forms of implementation of norms of legal matter, therefore, it is necessary to talk about four forms of manifestation of legal energy: compliance, enforcement, use, application. This is manifested in detail in the implementation of the norms of any branch of Russian law, including labour law.
