The article examines the mechanism of legal regulation as a systemic framework through which law performs its regulatory and protective functions, translating normative prescriptions into legally relevant conduct and legally significant outcomes. It substantiates the analytical value of addressing the mechanism through the correlation between legal goals and the legal means of achieving them, which makes it possible to identify the direction of legal influence, the limits of permissible legal decisions, and the conditions for their practical feasibility. The paper outlines the role of legal norms and principles, juridical facts, legal relations, acts of exercising rights and performing duties, as well as law-enforcement acts as interrelated stages of regulation, where goal-setting shapes the content and selection of means, while the means ensure the attainability and verifiability of the goals. Particular attention is paid to legal certainty, procedural safeguards, and the coherence of the mechanism’s elements as conditions for maintaining the stability of the legal order and balancing private and public interests.
