Creation of Administrative Courts in Russia as a Possible Direction for the Transformation of Justice

The growing number of administrative cases, the almost 10- year period of operation of the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation, a significant body of judicial practice in applying its norms, as well as the legal positions formulated by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, and the increased specialization of judges handling administrative cases necessitate a return to discussing the idea of establishing administrative justice in Russia. The article presents a number of arguments in favor of the reality of the prerequisites for the creation of administrative courts in the Russian Federation, including those that have a regulatory framework, as well as arguments of an organizational and doctrinal nature. Currently, a promising model of intra–system specialization is the creation of administrative courts within the system of courts of general jurisdiction. In the long term, institutional specialization is acceptable — the allocation of administrative courts as an independent subsystem of the judicial system of Russia. The result of the study was the conclusion that the idea of developing administrative justice needs to be given a real existence, to translate it from the sphere of theoretical reasoning into a real practical implementation.
