Summary/Abstract: The question of the structure of legal argumentation has not been explored in the Bulgarian legal doctrine. Individual researchers deal with isolated problems concerning the structure of legal argumentation. The structure represents the internal form of organization of the system, which appears as a unity of stable regular relationships between its elements. In science, the transition from description to explanation, from phenomena to essence, coincides with the knowledge of the structural features of the deeper levels of matter. This is why the question of the structure of legal argumentation, and hence its effectiveness, is so important.
