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.
As a result of rhetoric studies development in a specific medicine and healthcare field of interaction, scholars determined the grounds based on which rhetoric of law and medicine is singled out as a subfield of rhetoric. While medicine rhetoric is more focused on the rhetoric of science, the rhetoric analysis of substantive areas of medical law and healthcare prove that application of medicine rhetoric methodology to the areas of medical law results in dehumanization of the subjects of medical law; state healthcare policy implementation is perceived by affected communities as marketization of a national healthcare system; changes in medical law doctrines result in ethical shifts. The authors conclude that development of technologies in general and medical technologies in particular, public access to medical investigations’ results and inception of bioethics have resulted in the situation when the subjects of medical law are required to develop new approaches to communication with the audiences (or affected communities) based on rhetorical concepts.
