BACKGROUND FOR THE SOVIET JUDICIAL REFORM 1922

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of revealing the factors, which cause
the necessity to reform judiciary and define its content in 1922. The transition
to new economic policy strongly requires the ensuring of legitimacy in
civil-law relations for all categories of the population.
The author comes to the conclusion that changes in the judicial sphere
are not caused by the needs of new economic policy, but also by the general
weakness of the judiciary.
It is necessary to limit the powers of emergency justice, but also to
overcome structural and organizational amorphism of the Soviet justice.
