Abstract

The evolution of legal terminology in Ukraine is crucial for maintaining clarity and efficacy within its legal system, encompassing both public and private law domains. This abstract explores the dynamic processes involved in sustaining and updating legal terminology amidst contemporary challenges, emphasizing its significance in ensuring precision and coherence in legal frameworks. It examines how Ukraine’s integration efforts towards European standards necessitate the introduction and adaptation of legal terms to align with the acquis communautaire. Furthermore, the impact of external factors, such as ongoing conflict, on the evolution of legal terminology is discussed, highlighting the adaptive measures undertaken in response to wartime conditions. Through an analysis of legislative developments and scholarly discourse, this abstract underscores the role of legal terminology as a foundational element in safeguarding legal certainty, protecting rights, and promoting the harmonization of Ukrainian law with international norms.
