This paper analyses the consequences of the process of globalization of law, as a part of the general process of globalization. In this respect, the legal and social consequences of the globalization of law are observed both at the international and national level. The few of the most singnificant consequences of the globalization of law at the international level are presented in the section on transformation of the contemporary law in the process of globalization. Considering the fact that the legal and social consequences of the globalization of law at the national level are inextricably linked, both types of consequences are presented at the same time. In doing so, various characteristics of the countries were taken into account, on the one hand those of developed countries and, on the other hand, of developing countries and undeveloped countries. The consequences of the globalization of law have been analysed through the characteristic examples in all social areas –technology, economy, politics and culture. In the field of use of technology, primarily information technology (IT), as well as biotechnology, that is technology of genetic modification of living organisms, were taken as the examples. The consequences in the field of economy are analysed through the examples of the adoption of the legal framework of the market economy, the liberal model of foreign trade and regional economic integration. For the purpose of analysing political consequences, the harmonization of national regulations with a democratic legal framework was taken as the example. In the cultural sphere, the consequences of the adoption of legal institutes on the death penalty, ban of smoking and regulation of the environmental protection were observed.
