Pravno kulturo sestavljajo ideje, vrednotenja in pričakovanja ljudi glede na pravne procese ter njihova ravnanja, zadržanja in navade glede na pravni sistem. Raziskovanja pravne kulture razlikujejo med splošno in profesionalno pravno kulturo. Oba vidika pravne kulture pa sta vključena v splošno družbeno kulturo, ki pa jo tudi tvorno sooblikujeta. Družboslovne raziskave ugotavljajo stanje pravne kulture – po eni strani – z anketami javnega mnenja in – po drugi strani – z opisovanjem dejanskega družbenega delovanja ljudi in njihovih organizacij. Za slovenske razmere ugotavljamo znaten vpliv evropskih integracijskih procesov na oblikovanje modernih pravnih vrednot in ravnanje pravnih subjektov. Pravna kultura, s svojo središčno prvino, tj. človekovimi pravicami, je v današnjem času nujni pogoj za dejanski obstoj pravne države.

Legal culture is composed of ideals, evaluations and expectations of people regarding legal processes, as well as their actions, attitudes, and customs regarding the legal system. Researches on the legal culture differentiate between general and professional legal culture. Both aspects of the legal culture are included in the general legal culture, which they actively co-form. Sociological researches determine the state of legal culture – on one hand – by public opinion polls and – on the other hand – by describing actual social functioning of people and their organisations. We find considerable influence of European integration processes on the formation of modern legal values and performance of legal subjects in Slovenian circumstances. Legal culture with its central element, i.e. human rights, is nowadays a prerequisite for actual existence of a state governed by the rule of law.
