The quality of legal and technical elaboration of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, approved by the all-Russian vote on July 1, 2020, does not correspond to the level of the Basic Law. Oddly enough, the constitutional legislator ignored a number of basic technical means, rules and methods of legal technique. Thus, the constitutional amendments were drafted without taking into account the requirements of the structural organization of the legal act, namely: many new norms were included in inappropriate articles, the transitional provision on "resetting the deadlines" was duplicated in the main text of the Constitution. The authors of the amendments abandoned criteria of efficiency and compactness of legislative norms, having included an identical set of restrictions in nine articles of the Constitution in relation to various categories of officials. The text does not meet the requirement for uniformity of legal regulation, legal structures, the unity, simplicity and brevity of terminology: the scope of constitutional restrictions for various categories of officials differs somewhat without any objective reasons; there is no uniformity in the issue of the possibility of establishing additional requirements for officials by laws, “bifurcation” of the titles for senators (who in Chapter 9 of the Constitution are still referred to as members of the Federation Council). Insufficient attention to the requirement of consistency of legal norms has led to the creation of a new contradiction between Art. 71 and 72 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Amendments also have a number of other legal and technical defects. Such serious and numerous defects in the legal technique of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation became a natural result of a steady decline in the quality of federal legislation that has lasted for a long time. Constitutional amendments clearly demonstrate an insufficient level of legal culture in our country, which sharply raises the question of a radical improvement in the quality of legal technology, and legislative technology in particular.

Introduction: the emergence of such freelancing as remote labor meant the beginning of the process of the flexible virtual law formation. “Cloud computing” is coming into life. There appear the concepts of “working in the cloud” only in the virtual (digital) space, so the government program “Digital economy in the Russian Federation” of July 28, 2017, No. 1632-P adopted in the framework of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 9, 2017 provided the need for the formation of a comprehensive legislative regulation of relations arising in connection with the digital economy development. At the same time, it is specifically noted that the labor market should be based on its requirements in order to create productive employment. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is the methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the methods of consistency, analysis and comparative law. Results: the paper is devoted to the existing problems of the legal regulation of digital technologies in labor relations for the expedient and empirical updating of many legal norms, from which in the future it will be possible to start, change and supplement it, adhering to a fundamental change in labor relations in order to develop non-standard and fruitful employment. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research it is established that in the Russian Federation the labor legislation regulating the electronic legal employment relations is fragmented and does not contain all the elements of the legal regulation. There is a need for the legislation on archive business in electronic form, the widespread introduction of electronic employment contracts, which can serve as the basis for the electronic personnel records management. The labor legislation should contain the provisions on the equivalence of an electronic labor contract to a written form.

The article has analyzed the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on family disputes that involve property issues, revealed features of implementation of functions of the highest court in this field. First, it is stated that the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation reviews decisions of lower courts mainly in cases where the application of family law rules is contradictory and unsettled. It is necessary to fill in a gap in family law, to resolve conflicts between certain legal norms, to choose between several possible interpretations of the law. Second, the judicial panels of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, making a determination on a particular case, clarify the meaning of legal norms, and sometimes under the guise of interpretation in fact correct ill-considered or outdated norms of family law. Third, the High Court reviews cases where there is a typical and widespread error in the application of a very clear and defined rule.

Legal regulation of issues of public control and supervision is one of the problems of legal theory and practice. Underestimating of the place and features of municipal control in the system of public control and supervision is the cause of the poor quality of legal decisions taken, as well as legislation adopted at the level of both the Russian Federation and individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Municipal control in the system of public control and supervision, developing recommendations aimed at overcoming the shortcomings of legal regulation and practice of implementing municipal control. Methods: general and private scientific methods of cognition of objective reality (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, analogy, comparative legal, formal legal, and other methods of scientific cognition). The article deals with issues of relationship between state and municipal (public) control carried out by local self-government bodies - as a rule, due to the need to solve tasks that fall within the competence of state power. The problems of its independent implementation are studied based on the principles of local self-government - self-organization and self-control. A detailed analysis of the current legislation, allowing local governments to act as “controlling agents” of state power, is conducted, and based on this analysis, conclusions are made about the existing of municipal public control in the system of local self-government as a specific public phenomenon combining elements of public law and private law regulation. As a state, the Russian Federation is faced with the task of drastically improving the system of control (supervision) as a function of public power, and therefore the already initiated legal reform in this area will undoubtedly continue. In the context of the development of civil society and an open state, the development of forms of public control is also necessary, the lack of which creates a sense of “permissiveness” among the subjects of public power and inevitably leads to a decrease in the efficiency of public authority. Municipal public control within the framework of this system of public-state control should be oriented, including intra-system, at identifying deficiencies in the work of the bodies and officials of local self-government that impede the improvement of the quality of management and organizations. As a result, municipal public control should contribute to a safer for citizens to work and provide services to individuals and legal entities. Sphere of constitutional, administrative and municipal law; questions of the organization of state power and local self-government in the subjects of the Russian Federation; questions of control and supervisory activities. Separate existence of municipal authority does not mean the lack of interaction of local selfgovernment with state administration, non-coincidence of municipal formations under the influence of state-governmental structures, denial of influence of state on local self-government. State power has a significant impact on development of basic social processes predetermining the peculiarities of the implementation of public control by the municipal government. The implementation of supervisory activities, including at the local government level, is an important part of the stable, uninterrupted functioning of the state.

The article is devoted to one of the current areas of legal science related to the problems of interpretation the norms of General Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The interpretation of legal norms is the activity of state bodies, non-governmental organizations and individuals to clarify and explain the meaning of legal norms embedded by the legislator in them and the actual content of the legal provisions (regulations, definitions) contained in them in order to implement them correctly and improve the effectiveness of legal regulation public relations. The interpretation of legal norms is a complex volitional process aimed at establishing the exact meaning of the rule of law. This process consists of two elements: 1) the interpreter (interpreter) clarifies the content of the legal norm for himself; 2) then in order to establish its equal understanding and application it clarifies the meaning of the legal prescription to all interested parties. The first part of this activity – clarification – characterizes the epistemological nature of interpretation aimed at the knowledge of law. Understanding acts as a thought process taking place in the mind of the subject applying the rule of law. The explanation is the second part of a unified process of interpretation the law addressed to other parties to a relationship. It is carried out by the competent authorities and persons in order to eliminate ambiguities in understanding the content of the norm and thus ensure its correct application to the circumstances for which it is aimed. Subjects of interpretation may be public authorities, officials, organizations, enterprises, institutions, individuals. The objects of interpretation are laws and regulations. Legal interpretation is an activity that from a practical point of view is connected with the completion of the regulation of life relations by law. Legal norms as a result of interpretation become ready for implementation, practical implementation. The presented scientific article examines the interpretations given by the highest judicial instance, which showed that in some cases they contain contradictions that violate the legal and technical rules. Examples of the interpretation of criminal court decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are given, and author’s editions are proposed.
