Justice with Jury Participation: Current State and Development Prospects in the Russian Federation
( Pp. 92-96)

The institution of jurors exists for criminal proceedings in order to ensure the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the accused and their representatives. The institution of jurors has a fairly long history of formation and development in the Russian state. The current state of the institution of jurors also demonstrates the significant interest of civil society and the state in the development of this activity. In the legal literature, many opinions are expressed regarding the problems and prospects for the development of the institution of jurors, but many of them will only unreasonably complicate the existing system. The purpose of the presented study is to analyze the current state and prospects for the development of justice with the participation of jurors in the Russian Federation. The authors come to the conclusion that the current state of this institute is characterized by the presence of a number of current trends that characterize the scale and effectiveness of the application of relevant practice. Attention is focused on individual organizational problems in the functioning of courts with the participation of jurors. The prospects for the development of the institution of jurors in the Russian state are noted, and the priority task is to quickly resolve the problems of the shortage of juror candidates that exist in certain regions.
