Abstract: Introduction: the use of the concepts of literacy, nurturing, education, information, and learning in relation to legal categories leads to unjustified confusion and the creation of a false synonymous series. In the framework of the paper, it is proposed to make a primary distinction between these concepts. Based on the analysis of the selected papers (see the list of references), as well as the regulatory legal acts, the author’s scheme for distinguishing the concepts of “legal literacy,” “legal nurturing,” “legal education,” “legal information,” and “legal learning” is proposed. The purpose of the study is to systematize and differentiate the definitions under study to create a clear semantic field and the possible introduction of the desired units into scientific and legislative circulation. Research methods: the general scientific dialectical, universal scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, structural-functional, formallogical), and the special legal methods (comparative law, formal-legal). Conclusions: the concepts are distinguished, the definitions are given, and the classification of the studied objects is drawn up.
