Abstract
The paper analyzes the concept of mediatization of the legal sphere in the context of emergence of the global information and communication system. The paper proceeds as follows. First, the authors examine conceptualization of the term mediatization in domestic science. Second, the concept of mediatization is examined in the context of law as a social institution. Third, the authors provide the readers with the case study substantiating the conclusion that traditional doctrinal approaches and traditional methodology of linguistic forensic examination cannot be applied in modern conditions. The paper examines the impact of the changes that have accrued in the media and legal sphere: new formats of information production and distribution, robotization of journalism and legal journalism, changes in approaches to the web content examination and judicial text production and distribution.
