It is hardly a revelation to say that in the Soviet Union, law
served not as the foundation of government but as an instrument of
rule, or that the judiciary in that country was highly dependent
upon political authority. Yet, experience shows that effective
democracies and market economies alike require courts that are
independent and trusted. In Courts and Transition in Russia,
Solomon and Foglesong analyze the state and operation of the courts
in Russia and the in some ways remarkable progress of their reform
since the end of Soviet power. Particular attention is paid to the
struggles of reformers to develop judicial independence and to
extend the jurisdiction of the courts to include constitutional and
administrative disputes as well as supervision of pretrial
investigations. The authors then outline what can and should be
done to make courts in Russia autonomous, powerful, reliable,
efficient, accessible and fair. The book draws upon extensive field
research in Russia, including the results of a lengthy
questionnaire distributed to district court judges throughout
Russian Federation.Written in a clear and direct manner, Courts and
Transition in Russia should appeal to anyone interested in law,
politics, or business in Russia ? scholars and practitioners alike
? as well as to students of comparative law, legal transition, and
courts in new democracies.
