Much of the media coverage and academic literature on Russia
suggests that the justice system is unreliable, ineffective and
corrupt. But what if we look beyond the stereotypes and
preconceptions? This volume features contributions from a number of
scholars who studied Russia empirically and in-depth, through
extensive field research, observations in courts, and interviews
with judges and other legal professionals as well as lay actors. A
number of tensions in the everyday experiences of justice in Russia
are identified and the concept of the 'administerial model of
justice' is introduced to illuminate some of the less obvious
layers of Russian legal tradition including: file-driven procedure,
extreme legal formalism combined with informality of the pre-trial
proceedings, followed by ritualistic format of the trial. The
underlying argument is that Russian justice is a much more complex
system than is commonly supposed, and that it both requires and
deserves a more nuanced understanding.
