Public hearings on the proportion of the CEO "Justice"

Denis Dvornikov, a member of Public Chamber of Russia, Head of Public Affairs Committee "for the discovery of justice"

Can we imagine the chairman of the Supreme Court Vyacheslav Lebedev, traveling at "Lada Kalina" along the Trans-Siberian Railroad? And the head of the Supreme Arbitration Court Anton Ivanov conductor's cap depicting closeness to the people? I doubt it. Also difficult to imagine the chairman of the Constitutional Court Valery Zorkin, playing badminton or cycling with other heads of higher courts. Not because play badminton - it's bad. Just the judicial branch can not afford to use the tools of communication, are accustomed to the legislative and executive authority, and not only in Russia.

What and how can the judiciary to declare itself?

Openness and accessibility of the Russian judicial system may be expressed only through the quality of work, "reserved" to the press service, as well as the publication of judicial decisions on the internet. And if the information support system of arbitration courts today rightly considered to be sufficiently developed and advanced, the situation with "judicial internet" in the courts of law requires not only development but also the general awareness of its place and role.

In the arbitration courts and courts of law and the terms of the problem "customers" are different. In most cases, arbitration is dealing with legal professionals, who are demanding not only the content, but they are fairly advanced users of Internet resources. In addition, the great advantage of arbitration IT-specialists is a relatively small number of ships and the actual court decisions. Although, of course, in any case, information support of arbitration courts is impressive.

What happens in the courts of general jurisdiction in terms of information?

Long-awaited state automated system (GAS) "Justice" can be a joke compared to other large-scale domestic projects - such as GLONASS, and even with the formidable "Bulava". It seems everything is almost working, but it lacks some ease of performance and accuracy in the results.

But seriously, despite the fact that the CEO "justice" works is not the first time to replace it fully operational - the first quarter of 2013. It would seem, time enough for all to hone, improve, accelerate and expand. But the question is what should be a better and more convenient, and for whom all this is done?

Unfortunately, the CEO, "Justice", being the product by the customer which is the court system, has taken over and those features that are inherent in this system - the corporate secrecy. And if the courts a certain level of social distance from the geyser of events - this is the condition of normal operation, for an information product, which turned into the environment - is absurd. The reality is that today the CEO "Justice" - is the subject matter of a narrow circle of specialists.

Meanwhile, the courts of general jurisdiction - this authority in whose care needs are not only professionals but also ordinary townsfolk, most of whom were in a difficult situation. In court information is needed not only lawyers, but also journalists, court reporters and specialized publications, which search for the cause of the flow of procedural documentation is converted into a torture.

The Public Committee "for the discovery of justice" conducted a series of discussions, the implementation of 262-FZ "On Access to information on courts in the Russian Federation." Events were held in different regions, but always raised the same question about goal-setting this regulation and the titanic work that day doing a court staff, "flooding" sites, millions of court decisions. For whom and for what purpose, more than 22 million decision to throw out the network each year? There is no clear answer, and it prevents the creation of a truly convenient and understandable system. On the other hand, the introduction of additional criteria for the selection of judicial decisions - well hardly an acceptable solution. Much effort goes on even such a seemingly simple task, as the depersonalization of judicial decisions and the removal of these other information not subject to disclosure in accordance with legislative requirements.

The creation of the CEO "Justice" is really spent a lot of financial and organizational efforts. The fact that across the country in perhaps the most conservative branch of the government was able to make the Internet an indispensable tool of work - truly titanic achievement, since the first computer in the system of courts of general jurisdiction has appeared only in the late 1990s, little more than a decade ago. But a lot of questions. Issues to be discussed not only among customers and performers working to create an information system, but with the involvement of a broad legal and IT-society. And that is the development and improvement, "the court of the Internet" will be devoted to a roundtable to be held on November 10, 2011 in the heart of Digital October. Public hearings will be held with the support and participation of representatives of the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Russian Public Chamber.
