The Nature and Features of the Acts of the Judicial Community

When discussing the prospects for the development of the domestic judicial system and increasing its effectiveness, the question inevitably arises of improving the work of the judicial community bodies. In this regard, the analysis of the acts adopted by those bodies as a result of their rule-making activities becomes especially relevant. The present study was carried out based on traditional general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, etc.) and methods of legal science (system analysis, formal-legal, etc.). A review of scientific literature highlights certain, still debatable, aspects of studying domestic regulatory legal acts, also evident in research related to the acts of the judicial community bodies. Specifically, these aspects relate to classifying these acts, clarifying their conceptual content and distinctive features. It was found that the general criteria for the form and substance of regulatory legal acts can be applicable to acts of judicial self-regulation. The first case concerns the particulars of an act, its structural components, while the second focuses on the text’s logical structure, concise wording and definitive norms. It was concluded that categorizing these acts into regulatory, individual and programmatic types sufficiently reveals their legal features.
