Vasilieva T.Y. On the need to establish an institution of examining magistrates within the framework of the policy of the Russian Federation on improving the national judicial system

Abstract: The main direction of development of the judicial system of the Russian Federation is the strengthening of the constitutional protection of citizens’ right for legal defense. In author’s opinion, one of the ways of realizing this concept would be the establishing of an institution of examining magistrates specializing in reviewing the problems on election of the measures of restraint in the form of detaining, prolonging the term of detention, conducting additional investigative actions that limit the constitutional rights of the citizens, as well as reviewing the complaints about the activities of members of law enforcement. Establishing the institution of examining magistrates would provide the following benefits within the criminal procedure: ease the load on the courts of general jurisdiction; contribute to a more thorough and objective court review of the complaints filed in accordance with the article 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation on the law enforcement officials conducting the investigation; eliminate the forming of an accusatory trend in reviewing a criminal case and therefore, would ensure following the adversarial principle in execution of judicial control over the procedural activity of the investigative branches.


Keywords:
