Abstract: 

Introduction. The article deals with the analysis of a new interdisciplinary research field formation in Russia – law communication studies. Theoretical analysis. Formation of communication studies in the space of domestic humanities began in the post-Soviet period and was associated with the reception of the Western models of methodological and institutional organization of knowledge about communication. In Russia the introduction of communicative problems in the educational process was quite fast. Communication specialty of higher education, specialized research associations, specialized scientific periodicals, dissertation themes were created. The main barrier to the development of domestic communication study was making an independent scientific discipline. It remains unresolved. Institutional deficit determined «atomization» of research communications for a variety of research areas, specialization subject field of communication. The forming of law communication study was a special case of this process. It had three stages: 1) the emergence of a new subject area at the intersection of linguistics and jurisprudence and stable interest in the study of law communications; 2) the establishment of law communicative theory in the general theory of law; 3) the formation of state information and communication paradigms with the active participation of information law science. Results. Three disciplinary areas that generate a substantive law communication studies field were analyzed. This analysis showed that the sufficient conditions for their integration into a single unit completed. Firstly, it is a common for them tendency to interpret communication in law through its social nature and steady feedback from non-legal sciences, which explore the modern communication processes. Secondly, it is using of categorical apparatus and basic structural schemes of communication study. Now development of the law communication studies as an independent interdisciplinary research area depends on the process of consolidation of the scientific community.
