Conciliation procedures in civil proceedings: prospects and problems of their application

The research presented in the article is dedicated to the analysis of conciliation procedures in the civil process of the Russian Federation, which serve as an important mechanism for relieving the judicial system and ensuring the prompt resolution of disputes between parties. The examination of the legal framework, including the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (CPC RF), the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (APC RF), and the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation (CAP RF), as well as the opinions of leading scholars, highlights the key advantages and disadvantages of various conciliation procedures such as mediation, judicial reconciliation, settlement agreements, and arbitration. The analysis of existing problems in their application, including insufficient legal regulation, participants’ distrust, and a weak institutional framework, underscores the relevance of further academic study and improvement. The study proposes comprehensive measures to enhance the legal regulation of conciliation procedures, implement digital technologies, and adapt successful international practices.
