Models of Justice of the XXI Century: Experience of Russia and the BRICS Countries

Factors of external influence on the judicial system, including the development of information and communication technologies, the COVID-19 pandemic, the need of citizens for fast and affordable justice, prompted the courts to implement remote forms of interaction with interested persons, to introduce diverse online formats in judicial activities. All this was the basis for improving the historically established organizational and legal model of justice.In search of an effective model of justice of the XXI century, the experience of Brazil, India, China, Russia and South Africa on the organization of online justice, as well as ways of alternative dispute resolution in electronic format with the participation or under the control of the court was studied.
