Students who have studied the discipline will learn: the main characteristics of the judicial systems of countries of common and continental law, individual states on the territory of the former USSR, as well as the main trends in the development of the judiciary in the Asian region, Latin America and Muslim countries; leading scientific doctrines about judging and judges, common in the named regions; key elements of the status of judges (selection of candidates for judges, career advancement within the judiciary, forms of bringing judges to justice, as well as ethical standards of the judicial profession); the main directions of interaction between the judiciary and civil society; mechanism for the administration of justice in foreign countries, in particular in post-conflict areas; the relationship of national justice with the bodies of international justice. In addition, based on the results of mastering the discipline, students will be able to analyze various institutions of procedural law in foreign countries with each other and their Russian counterparts, predict possible directions for reforming judicial activity in developed capitalist legal orders, highlight promising areas for improving procedural law, taking into account the trends emerging in the XXI st century.
