Problem statement. The introduction of judicial conciliation procedures in the arbitration, civil and administrative process in order to protect the rights of consumers of services can serve as a positive impetus to the development of civilized out-of-court dispute resolution. However, the corresponding norms of APC RF, CPC RF, the CAJ RF and the Regulation of judicial reconciliation includes a number of provisions that are subject to critical analysis. Special attention should be paid to the rules that establish requirements for candidates for judicial conciliators, in terms of the need for retired judges to conduct research activities, which can hardly be considered justified. Purpose and objectives of the study. To identify the essential features of the application of judicial reconciliation in the protection of the rights of consumers of services during the reform of the procedural legislation of the Russian Federation. Objectives of the study: to perform judicial reconciliation in the protection of the rights of consumers of services to identify deficiencies of legal regulation in the field of judicial reconciliation under the protection of the rights of consumers, to formulate separate proposals for reform of the law. Method of research. We used empirical methods of comparison, description, and interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; and historical-legal and comparative-legal methods. Results, brief conclusions. It is determined that the current Russian legislation in relation to the judicial process now provides for three types of conciliation procedures used to protect the rights of consumers of services: negotiations, mediation and judicial reconciliation. Mediation and judicial reconciliation, although separated by law, are not fundamentally different in nature. Although there are different requirements for mediators in these types of reconciliation, the appropriateness of such a separation is not sufficiently convincing. It is established that the requirements imposed on conciliators in combination with the powers vested in them can negatively affect the results of reconciliation to protect the rights of consumers of services. In this regard, it is proposed to amend the relevant procedural codes and the Rules of judicial reconciliation, which would eliminate the identified contradictions and shortcomings.

The purpose of the paper is to identify and substantiate the topicality of the problem of criminalistic support for the participation of a minor victim in criminal proceedings. The following methods are used: empirical comparison and description methods, theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Results: a number of problems are identified regarding the participation of minor victims in criminal proceedings. In that connection, a theoretical justification is provided for the need for further research of the problem and for the establishment of a special criminalistic doctrine on that basis.

The psychology of the category of interest has a multifaceted character, which is the semantic line of human life. At the same time, interest begins with individual’s psychology, then there is a transition to interests in social and legal relations, and then the interest again turns into personal motivation, but already in a social environment. The main psychological feature of interest is its emotional component, without which the interest loses its subjective meaning. It is reflected in legal relations between the state and society. Purpose: to consider the concept and characteristics of interest in social and legal relations. Methods: empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Results: the author comes to the conclusion that the construction of a person's interest at the present time does not come from two components - individual and social, but from three, which will certainly include the third component as interests at the level of international relations.

Methods: the dialectical method of cognition, general scientific methods of analysis and generalization, empirical methods of description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic are used in the research. Results: the article reveals in detail the content of general (territory, situation, community of correctional institutions; prevalence of informal norms of behavior in places of deprivation of liberty, which most convicts adhere to) and private grounds (specifics of personality traits of a criminal, victim and witnesses; specifics of behavior before and after crime commission) for classification of crimes that make up the group for which the investigation method will be worked out. Conclusions: based on the available research, which highlights the universal basis – the criminal legal object, it is concluded that there are two groups of grounds (general and special) for classification of crimes causing intentional harm to life and health committed by convicts serving imprisonment sentences.

The legal regulation of the features of marriage in a minor age has a millennium history. The analysis of legal regulation of the marriage age in Russia, the Russian Empire and the RSFSR shows that the models of the legal regulation of the minimum marriage age are divided into simplified and differentiated ones (gender differentiated, nationally differentiated and socially differentiated models). The author concludes that in domestic legislation the minimum age of marriage always depended on various circumstances. Until 1926, there was a gender-differentiated model of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage. A nation-differentiated model existed in the prerevolutionary and Soviet era in relation to the inhabitants of Transcaucasia. Since 1926, in the territory of the RSFSR, a socio-differentiated model of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage was consolidated in law. According to this model the minimum age of marriage was reduced due to special social circumstances. Family laws of the Russian Federation made an unsuccessful attempt to implement the nation-differentiated model of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage. The modern Russian model of legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage is socio-differentiated. The paper also carries out a detailed comparison of the three socio-differentiated models of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage (the model under the Soviet Code of Marriage, Family and Custody of the RSFSR (1926—1968), the model under the Code of Marriage and Family of the RSFSR (1969—1995), the contemporary model); analyzes the differences and shortcomings of these models; suggests ways to eliminate them.

Despite the existence of an article in modern Russian legislation on the legal status of minor parents, many legal issues related to the implementation and protection of the rights, duties, interests of a minor parent and his child remained outside family legal regulation, which exacerbates the already difficult problem of legal protection of early parenthood. Moreover, the provisions of Article 62 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation are very inharmoniously combined with the rules of guardianship of minors. The aim of the work is to analyze the legislation on the legal status of minor parents and guardians, to identify the legal characteristics of the care of a child of minor parents. The author concludes that the features of the care of a child of minor parents, in addition to the age of one or both parents, in the case of the appointment of a guardian include: a combination of parenthood and guardianship; unequal opportunities for the care of a child by a minor parent who is not able to independently provide care, and by the legal representative of the child of the minor parent; special (additional) grounds for terminating guardianship of a child of minor parents; the need for the guardian to live together not only with the child in care, but also with his parent. The norms of paragraph 2 of article 62 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation and paragraph 2 of article 29 of the Federal law «On Guardianship and Custodianship» should be adjusted. It is proposed to introduce special rules for the selection of the guardian of a child of a minor parent, which would properly ensure the right of the minor parent to live together with the child.
