The Supreme Court of Russia

100%
EN
The text traces back the roots of the contemporary Russian judicial system and presents the current landscape of court structure in Russia. It also touches upon the 2013 reform which aimed at merging the Supreme Court and the Supreme Commercial Court. The concept of the reform sparked controversy because it might endanger the efficiency of the latter court. On the other hand, it might lead to greater uniformity in judicial practice of both courts. The text also offers an insight into the organization of the Supreme Court, including the structure of its chambers as well as the role of the plenum and the presidium of the court.

The text discusses different aspects connected with organisation of supreme courts. It argues that the focus should be shifted to the “how” question. If the supreme courts aspire to fulfil certain special functions, a necessary precondition towards fulfilling this goal entails appropriate organisational structures, means and personnel. The organisation, framework and methods of work of a supreme court should reflect the functions that it is supposed to serve. Although most supreme courts have staff, departments and offices that are entrusted with legal research and analysis, the rise in importance of international jurisprudence is putting on the agenda the need for restructuring and reinforcing the existing departments. The author claims that supreme courts are becoming less and less self-centred in their adjudication, which requires legal research of international and comparative law. The text also deals with other aspects of supreme courts’ organisation. For instance, it shifts focus towards the relation between the number of judges in a supreme court and its impact on the uniformity of jurisprudence. It also emphasises the need to further examine the relation between the number of judges per capita and the efficiency of the court’s work.
