Annotation.In the article the author intends to present the oscillation of priorities between modernity and postmodernity, for the purpose of which he identifies the general characteris- tic ofmodernity, postmodernity and metamodernity, then, based on the three questions below, analyses the inherent qualitative oscillations of metamodernity.
The author observes that the metamodern lawyer, when making decisions, either swings towards modernity and tries to be honest, then returns to postmodernity, again choosing irony and cynicism (1), o rswings towards modernity and chooses objective truth, then returnsto postmodernity and talks about formal truth(2), or swings towards a modernist understanding of the admissibility of evidence, then returns to postmodernity and talks about the admissibil-ity of evidence acquired by human rights violations(3).
The author believes that in the conditions of digitalisation of modern society, when society, through digital technologies willy-nilly witnesses the fact of committing a crime, as a result of which the understanding of the principle of admissibility of evidence by the court is also trans- formed, allowing deviations and exceptions from it.
The author has used various research methods and, in particular, the method of sociologi- cal research, represented by the survey presented in thearticle.
