The paper, on the basis of the analysis of legislation, the RF Constitutional Court jurisprudence, as well as practice of law-making on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, describes the process of evolution of legal properties of the law under consideration. The paper investigates such legal properties of the Law of the Russian Federation on the Amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation as legal force, the subject of the legal regulation, the procedure for adoption and entry into force. The author believes that any change of these legal properties has an impact on the legal properties of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and primarily on its stability. The paper draws special attention to the Law of the Russian Federation on Amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation as of MArch 14, 2020, No. 1-FKZ “On improvement of regulation of certain issues of organization and functioning of public power.” According to the author, there was another transformation of the legal properties of the Law on Amendment. This transformation concerns the order of its entry into force. Provisions of the Law of the Russian Federation on Amendment to the Constitution adopted in 2020 contain both norms that amend the constitutional text and norms not intended for inclusion in the text of the Constitution of the Russian Federation that are technical and transitional in nature. In this regard, the author deals with the question whether the Law on Amendement itself may establish additional conditions for its entry into force other than those provided for by the federal legislation.

The subject of this research is the practices of advanced legal regulation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the example of the sphere of corruption prevention. Examination of the regional legislative practices is of particular interest within the framework of implementation of the single state policy in the area of corruption prevention and development of anti-corruption legislation. The selected topic also reflects general interest for the assessment of advanced legal regulation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as a whole at the current stage. The goal of this research is to develop proposals on improving anti-corruption regulation on the federal level based on the regional anti-corruption practices, using the formal-legal, systematic, and comparative methods. The conducted analysis allows assessing the regional lawmaking practices, as well as the legislation on corruption prevention. The regional practices are aimed at unification of anti-corruption regulation on the regional and municipal levels, as well as filling the gaps caused by imperfection of the federal legal regulation. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation use the right to advanced legal regulation conservatively, although they have such opportunity in for synchronization of legal regulation on the regional and federal levels. This substantiates the need for addressing these issues in the federal laws. The introduction of anti-corruption restrictions, mechanisms of compliance thereof, and liability for their violation (noncompliance) should be established by the federal laws. The author believes that the considered in the article regional practices deserve support and reflection in the federal laws.

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 this study was an attempt to theoretically understand the subject of judicial consideration of complaints against decisions, actions (inaction) of officials carrying out criminal prosecution. The research was carried out on the basis of comparative legal, formal logical, empirical, statistical methods. Judicial statistics for the year 2020 have been provided, and legislation has been studied from a historical and contemporary perspective, taking into account the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The problem is that, in practice, for about 20 years the courts have had difficulties in determining the subject of complaints, since neither in theory nor in practice a consensus has been developed on this issue. The Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation also does not contain a definition of the concept of «subject matter». The situation is aggravated by the presence of evaluative concepts in the text of the law, leading to a varied understanding of the subject of appeal by the courts, which leads to a violation of the constitutional rights of citizens at the pre-trial stages of criminal proceedings. In the article, taking into account the analysis of the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, legislation and the opinion of scientists, a recommendation was made to amend the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation to specify the subject of consideration of complaints in accordance with Art. 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in order to eliminate existing contradictions in practice and increase the level of protection of individual rights in pre-trial proceedings.
