But in the past scholars are often caught up it in the fringe of other legal theories, as a topic rarely carried out. Given the legal awareness of modern legal culture as a factor in the concept of reality of the important role it is necessary to modern legal awareness in-depth analysis and discussion. In this paper, a comparative analysis, historical analysis, the structure function analysis, analysis of the laws of modern consciousness research. Combination of Chinese and Western background of the current situation analysis, the legal consciousness of modern analytic and deep grasp, with a view to contributing to our current modern legal awareness training.Modern awareness of the law is a system of the legal values based on modern commodity economy and democratic constitutional system, have specific times on the main social law in the subjective reaction. Modern law contains modern legal concept of forms and modern legal values. The essence of modern legal consciousness is the rules awareness, concepts of justice, public reason. Rules consciousness is based on the status. Rules awareness is the best embodiment of modern general legal awareness of the characteristics of a mental factor, because modern rule of law is a regulation to govern the community's cause. But modern awareness of the law itself is calling for justice rules rule. So just embodies the modern concept of legal awareness among the pursuit of value. In addition, the rules of belief, the pursuit of justice, there is a spirit behind the background, it is rational public.To explore the formation of legal awareness, the Western is representative. Modern Western generate legal awareness among the following factors: the economic factor is the value of modern economic development, the social structure of society is pluralistic composition and the formation of civil society, the factor concept is rational concepts, and some faith of "rules of the supremacy".As to China's modern legal awareness training, the Chinese tradition although have the rules, but the status of which is instability and the force of which is fragile.

Only in this way will we be able to develop a modern legal awareness in order to achieve a good law and order.
