Summary/Abstract: The article examines the way specialized myths work in virtual space and the type of illusion they may generate. The field of specialization that forms our concern is the Romanian legal system, where we analyse the myth of blind justice, the myth of the hero and the personal myth. Virtual space is tackled in two of its components: television, where live justice is presented and the internet, where blogs are the new preferred form of addressing to the people. The final section of the paper provides a short classification of the consignee of Romanian juridical virtual myths.
