<p>At present, establishment of diversified Chinese quick transaction mechanism of minor criminal case has become an important project that the judicial organ have to confront due to the reason that the simple procedure set up by Criminal Law of our country is not efficient for transacting the increasing minor criminal cases. Since 2014, Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has authorized the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate to launch reform of quick transaction mechanism of minor criminal case in 14 cities like Beijing according to the overall scheme of Central judicial system reform. Since the reform, Courts around have begun to focus on protecting the lawful rights and interests of the criminal suspect and the defendant when they are establishing quick verdict program of minor criminal cases so as to ensure the justice of the case, of which useful experience has been taken. <br />But from the perspective of judicial practice, judicial process of places is not unified because more principled rules of quick transaction mechanism of minor criminal case are launched only by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. Many problems occur in practice: application and scope are not inconsistent; time is too long in handle procedures before trial, which will influence efficiency; cooperation of public security unit, the inspecting authorities, and courts are not efficient; evidence system of minor criminal cases is not perfect…… These problems have restricted the function of quick transaction mechanism. Therefore, quick transaction mechanism of minor criminal case is to be standardized.</p>

The functioning of the jury in Russia has demonstrated not only effectiveness, but also a number of problems that need to be resolved. Such problems include the personal jurisdiction of criminal cases by jury. The article reveals the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation regarding the right of minors to trial a criminal case in a jury. The approaches to solving this issue that have developed in the judicial practice of individual foreign states are analyzed, the main directions for further scientific discussion regarding the right of minors to a jury trial are outlined. The purpose of the article is to disclose various approaches to the administration of criminal justice in the relations of minors with the participation of lay judges. The theoretical basis of the study was Russian and foreign scientific works in the field of criminal procedure law, devoted both to the consideration of criminal cases with the jury, and the specifics of juvenile criminal proceedings. Using the comparative legal research method has allowed to reveal various approaches to the access of minors to jury trials in individual states. In Russian legislation and judicial practice the question of the right of minors to have a criminal case against them considered by a jury remains unresolved. The position of the Constitutional Court of Russia regarding the jurisdiction of such criminal cases is also controversial. The experience of foreign countries indicates that there is no universal way to ensure the right of a minor to a proper court. This issue is decided depending on the type of criminal process, the presence or absence of specialized juvenile courts. Any direct borrowing in this regard cannot be considered effective, but a generalization of foreign experience can create the necessary basis for optimizing both the work of the jury and criminal proceedings against minors.

The article deals with the rights of women in the Fatimid Caliphate (10th to 12th centuries) by analysing the judicial practice of the time, the decisions of the Sharia and Mazalim courts. The author focuses on the legal status of women in the sphere of marriage, family and criminal law in the Ismaili tradition. Historical-legal and comparative-legal methods are used in the analysis of sources. The study begins with a short digression into the history of the Fatimid Caliphate. The features of the judicial system, the role of the cadi and its competence are described. There are a number of court cases, one of the parties to which was a woman. Based on the analysis, the author makes a conclusion about the specifi city of the Fatimid approach to marriage, in comparison with the Sunni and Imamite legal schools. The special role of guardians at the conclusion of the marriage contract and restriction of freedom of its termination is noted. Attention is drawn to the fact of extremely negative attitude to marriage between Muslim women and representatives of other religious movements, as well as to such an institution of family law as temporary marriage, legalised in the Imamite school of law. The fi nal part deals with criminal cases in which a woman is both the victim and the accused. Based on these precedents, it is a non-trivial conclusion that the judges of the Fatimid Caliphate did not always rely on Sharia norms when making decisions against women, which is completely atypical for Muslim traditions in general. At the same time, any crimes against this group of the population were punished rather severely. Particular attention is drawn to the state’s approach to women plaintiffs, depending on the degree of their personal participation in the judicial process.

Before the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty from Britain to the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 1 July 1997, the politics of interpreting the Basic Law had already become apparent. This article aims to use the debate over the Court of Final Appeal (COFA), which was set up in July 1997 to replace the Privy Council in Britain as the court of final adjudication in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), to analyse how the Basic Law had already been interpreted by PRC officials, their British counterparts and the Hong Kong people. The interpretation of the Basic Law involves many people from both Hong Kong and China. As one legal scholar writes: “In one sense all kinds of people [in the HKSAR] will have to interpret the Basic Law: civil servants and other administrators and lawyers in their day-today work, legislators to ensure that their legislation and motions are consistent with it, the State Council [in the PRC], the National People's Congress Standing Committee, even private parties since some provisions affect private acts.” The debate over the COFA may also help towards an understanding of the ongoing interpretation of various provisions of the Basic Law, which serves as the mini-constitution of the HKSAR.

In the process of criminal proceedings, the determination of the procedural status of a person participating in a criminal case is the most important stage of the investigation. It depends on who the person will be recognized, what rights and obligations it will have, how actively it will be able to participate in the criminal case. The paper examines issues related to the determination of the procedural status of a person inclined to use drugs, draws conclusions about the need to recognize the inclined victim in the framework of the investigation of criminal cases under Art. 230 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Induction to the consumption of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues.” The article analyzes the arguments in defense of the provision on recognizing as victims those who are inclined to use drugs, and also provides arguments explaining what kind of damage is caused by the perpetrator to people who have used drugs and who have refused their use. The presently existing judicial practice on determining the procedural status of persons inclined to use drugs is presented. The paper explains the reasons why investigators and prosecutors do not want to involve persons inclined to use drugs to participate in criminal proceedings on the side of the prosecution. Using the example of a judicial act that has entered into legal force, it is explained how the status of a victim in a criminal case can affect the sentence passed. The situation with cannabis is considered in order to understand the harm arising from one-time use of narcotic drugs. Attention is focused on the attitude of society towards narcotic drugs made from hemp, and on the example of works in the field of medicine, the author describes the damage caused to a person when hemp-based drugs are consumed. At the same time, it explains why drugs inflict both physical and moral harm on a person. Conclusions are formulated about the need for the incited person to participate in a criminal case in the status of a victim from the moment the investigator makes a decision to initiate a criminal case.

Public prosecutors have the authority to control criminal cases, examine the results of investigators' examinations, or filter case files regarding the completeness of requirements and eligibility standards to be delegated to court. This principle is called dominus litis. Etymologically dominus (Latin), which means owner, litis means case or lawsuit. In this context, the public prosecutor as dominus litis is the owner of a criminal case submitted to the court for trial. The problem of applying the dominus litis principle from the perspective of the prosecutor's office raises many problems, which can hinder a simple, fast, and low cost judicial process. The back and forth of criminal case files between public prosecutors and investigators is not a strange thing in this context, the slow process of criminal justice is protracted, tiring, and even unclear, and creates injustice for justice seekers, and so on.
