Key legal mechanisms for reducing judicial workload in Russian Federation arbitration courts

The high judicial workload experienced by arbitration courts in the Russian Federation has a detrimental impact on court operations, as well as the efficiency and timeliness of legal dispute resolution. Establishing a robust theoretical and methodological foundation for the concept of judicial workload and the primary mechanisms for its reduction is an indispensable element in alleviating court congestion. This study aims to analyze the key legal mechanisms for reducing judicial workload in the Russian Federation’s arbitration courts. The methodology employed encompasses statistical analysis, dialectical construction, analysis, and synthesis. A potential classification of the main directions and mechanisms for reducing judicial workload on arbitration courts is presented. The main feasible legal mechanisms for workload reduction are analyzed in detail. Finally, the principal directions for reforming legal institutions to alleviate the judicial workload are identified.
