Pre-reading tasks:

a) Answer the following questions using your background knowledge:

What sources of law do you know?

What do you think is the primary source of law in Russia?

Are there criminal and civil courts in our country?

Are there any specialized courts in our country? What cases do they consider?

 

Russia belongs to the continental legal system, and a written law is the main legal source. So, the supreme law in Russia is the Constitution. Other major legal sources include federal constitutional laws and federal laws. Any law cannot contradict the Constitution.

The Russian court system is composed of three independent parts. They are

(1) the Courts of General Jurisdiction;

(2) the Commercial (Arbitrazh) Courts;

(3) the Russian Federation Constitutional Court.

The Courts of General Jurisdiction include Justices of the peace, District courts, Regional courts and the Supreme Court.

Justices of the peace resolve small claims at the local level.

District (rayon) courts function as courts of first instance and courts of appeals for decisions of justices of the peace. These courts make initial decisions in the majority of criminal and civil cases.

Regional (oblast) courts serve as trial courts in more serious crimes and civil matters, and as appellate courts reviewing district court’s judgments.

The Supreme Court is the highest judicial body within the courts of general jurisdiction. It hears civil, administrative, criminal, and other cases by way of supervision and for newly discovered circumstances. The Supreme Court may issue explanations on questions concerning judicial practice.

The military courts are included into the system of courts of general jurisdiction. They include garrison, district (navy) courts and the Military Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

The Commercial Courts adjudicate commercial and economic disputes between business entities. These courts are organized at the level of constituent components of the Russian Federation.

The RF Constitutional Court adjudicates matters governed by the RF Constitution. Rulings of the Constitutional Court are binding and final. Some subjects of the Russian Federation have their own "subject" constitutional courts (14 courts) and also charter courts (4 courts).
