The advancement of informatization leads to the information society, which is a global trend of information civilization. Present time marks the new information stage of social development, which should be defined as information society, where information and knowledge are the key object of labor of the majority of population, and information technologies are a direct instrument of labor. In this regard, civil proceedings, which is founded on the adversarial principle, also takes the vector towards the information component. The adversarial principle, is in turn is influenced by objective factors (social relations) and subjective factors  (attitude towards the right of subjects), which is the basis for changing the mechanism of its implementation. This directly affect the conduct of judicial proceedings and legal enforcement of adversarial principle. The author determines the key trends in adaptation of the means of implementation of adversarial principle in civil proceedings in the conditions of the use of information technologies. The author suggest dividing the means of implementation of adversarial principle into two groups: for creating an environment of trust and communication interaction between the participants and the court. Based on this, the article analyzes the possible impact of information technologies upon the adversarial principle in civil proceedings, as well as the mechanism of its implementation. The conclusion is made that the adversarial principle in civil proceedings can fall under influence of information technologies, since its essence is formed from objective and subjective factors; while the means of its implementation, which comprise the legal measures of its mechanism through adaptation of information technologies in justice, are susceptible to change.

Chapter 7 addresses the relationship between the Free Speech Clause and the Second Amendment’s right to “keep and bear Arms.” Relative to the other non-speech rights examined in the book, recognition of an individual right to keep and bear arms occurred relatively recently (the Supreme Court recognized the right in 2008). As a result, the relationship between free speech and Second Amendment rights is still developing. The chapter focuses primarily on two aspects of their intersection. The first is the extent to which the nature and scope of Second Amendment rights ought to be modeled on Free Speech Clause doctrines and principles. The chapter considers the pros and (mostly) cons of “borrowing” the Free Speech Clause for this purpose. The second aspect of the relationship between the Free Speech Clause and the Second Amendment relates to potential conflicts between them. The chapter addresses two tension points—the effect on free speech of openly carrying firearms at public protests and demonstrations, and the effect on academic freedom and inquiry from the presence of firearms in university classrooms. The chapter argues that the future of the Second Amendment will not be determined by explicit borrowing of Free Speech Clause doctrines. However, in terms of constructing the modern right to keep and bear arms, there is much we can learn from the nation’s long experience with free speech rights.

In 2014, the Supreme Court of India endorsed the demand of trans petitioners for recognition as a ‘backward’ class, entitling them to constitutional guarantees of affirmative action. The equation of transness with backwardness seems to reiterate the ascription of primitiveness to the queer in the colonial archive. In Indian politics, backwardness has different connotations arising out of the struggles of subordinate caste groups. This chapter explores the perils and potentials of the trans claim to backwardness, asking what an appeal to Dalit leader Ambedkar’s politics of futurity means for trans politics. On a parallel register, the chapter explores the relationship between gender identity and backwardness in the imagination of the nation itself, demonstrating how an elite drive for great power status is articulated through the idiom of gender transition. Finally, the chapter reflects on the potentials of gender trouble on both the right and left of the Indian ideological spectrum.

Modern judicial practice indicates how important, in the quality of cases, is forensic examination, which with its special methods, tools and techniques contributes to the solution of judicial problems. An expert opinion plays a significant role in the process of proving in separate proceedings, when the question of the obligatory application of special knowledge arises. The article deals with study of forensic science as a source of evidence in a particular proceeding, as well as highlighting the clear difference between individual and other types of proceedings in civil proceedings, forming an opinion on the active role of the court in resolving cases in a particular proceeding. on the problem of interpretation by courts of norms of the national legislation at application of such means of proof as the expert’s conclusion. Analysis of scholars’ opinions, national case law, ECtHR documents, current legislation and regu-lations governing the appointment of forensic examination, shows that, in addition to the general rules of the institution of evidence and proof, in cases of separate proceedings, the court may take into account all by law means of proof. The expert's opinion is admissible, sufficient, reliable and categorical evidence in cases concerning changes in the legal status of individuals; establishing facts that are legally significant for the realization of rights and interests in family and other legal relations (for example, establishing the zygote of twins as a result of merging male and female gametes, establishing kinship (kinship) through molecular genetic examination).

The purpose of this article is to present one of the most problematic issues in the Civil Code of Georgia, which is manifested in the confusion of the institution of subrogation in insurance law with such institutions as cession and the condition of regression. They are close in content to each other, and this fact makes it difficult to see differences between them. Seeing the difference in content between them has not only theoretical but also practical significance, as each institution is characterized by a different legal outcome, and in each specific case the proper qualification of the relationship is crucial. One of the most practical different legal consequences of the given institutions is revealed in the different terms of the statute of limitations. For example, until 2012, it was unknown to the Georgian court that the statute of limitation of a subrogation starts from the period when the insurer has the right to claim damages against the insurance underwriter. Before then, it was an unknown fact that, different from regression, only legal relationship is established with one obligation in subrogation. In this article, we have discussed the distinctive features of subrogation, cession, and the condition of regression, and the accompanying legal consequences. We have discussed the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia, which discuss the differences in the content and results of the above-mentioned institutions. As a result, it was revealed that the practice of the Civil Court of Georgia before 2012 was unknown about the institution of subrogation, which is a really significant problem. It can be said that a uniform practice of the Supreme Court has been established at the Subrogation Institute and the problems that existed before have been solved.

This article examines the approach of legal science and law enforcement to the issue of abuse of rights. The authors emphasize that the reform of procedural legislation in the first two decades of the 21st century corresponds to the tendencies of internationalization of the civil process, within the framework of which the principle of accessibility of justice in its true understanding as a legal value is concretized. In this sense, the authors state that the abuse of the right to sue is one of the most important problems of civil procedural law, requiring a solution in order to increase the fairness and efficiency of national legal proceedings. The analysis of a passive procedural position is carried out in the path of abuse of law. The authors acknowledge that, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to severely punish dishonesty of the parties in court in order to promote good faith in civil proceedings is a response to the established jurisprudence. In addition, this article draws attention to the fact that the most important problems today are related to the improvement of mechanisms for encouraging the execution of procedural laws and rules of civil proceedings, and not just the system of punishment for dishonest behavior. This formulation of the practical problem determines the research methodology. According to the authors, the solution of serious problems associated with the dishonesty of the parties should be based not only on a theoretical (and monistic) approach, but on a pluralistic and communicative approach. And in this sense, this study is new. This article concludes that the failure of the procedural theory in the study of the phenomenon of abuse of rights and the explanation of conscientiousness in the civil proceedings is a fact of scientific development, subject to methodological research — a methodological assessment of this fact; the question arises about the essence of the phenomenon; special purposes of civil procedure — the directions of development of procedural law inevitably give rise to their own legal interpretations, in particular, this is observed in the case of assessing the good faith in the judicial proceedings for purposes of other branches of law.

Criminal laws must conform to each state's constitutional law. In both Israel and Germany, the highest courts have ruled on the compatibility of criminal prohibitions with constitutionally protected rights. One recurrent issue is the relationship between criminal prohibitions and the right to liberty, which is constitutionally guaranteed in both countries. The authors show that there are clear parallels in the case law of Israeli and German courts with regard to liberty. Human dignity is likewise protected in both legal systems, although it plays a different role in each. Under article 1(1) of the German Basic Law, human dignity enjoys “absolute” protection, which leads to problems in defining human dignity and accommodating countervailing interests in individual cases. In Israel, by contrast, human dignity is placed on the same level as liberty in the constitutional hierarchy of rights and is not afforded any “special treatment” by the Supreme Court. The authors suggest an intermediate solution: human dignity should not be granted “absolute” protection but should be treated with the greatest respect when criminal laws are reviewed for their constitutionality.
