ABSTRACT

The article deals with the problem of differences in the structure and functioning of court systems in the certain countries. Examples of these differences trace to the Ancient and Medieval history. Some model of explanation is proposed. Differences and interpretation of them are demonstrated concerning the contemporary court systems of the leading Western countries, including Great Britain, France, the USA, Germany, Scandinavian countries. The author concludes that reception of this or that foreign experience concerning Russian court system must be very carefully based upon full comparativist analysis touching not only comparative law, but comparative state studying and comparative political science.

KEYWORDS

comparative analysis of court systems, history of courtsystems, British court system, court system in France, court systemin Germany, court system in Scandinavian countries, courts in the USA.

Text

С самых ранних этапов государственной жизни различные страны имели свои специфические основы судопроизводства. Они зависели, видимо, не только от каких-то случайностей, но и от особенностей геополитического положения, государственного устройства, религии, хозяйства и т.д. Вспомним, например, что в древневавилонских Законах Хаммурапи (XXVIII в. до н.э.) судебные прерогативы царской власти не были расписаны подробно — в ст. 5 шла только речь о непоследовательном решении судьи, который изменив свое первоначальное постановление, должен уплатить сумму иска в 12-кратном размере и быть отрешен от должности [1, c. 10]. В то же время в древнеиндийских законах Ману (II в. до н.э. — II в. н.э.) обязанности царя в отношении отправления правосудия подробнейшим образом описаны и аргументированы. Монарха поучают, как осуществлять суд, предписывают перепоручить правосудие брахману с помощниками и т.д. [1, c. 34–35] В этом можно видеть коренное отличие индуистского государства, зависимого от варнового строя и конкретно от священнослужителей-брахманов. Одним словом, перед нами отличия не случайные, а интегративноцивилизационные, основанные на взаимодействии множества факторов [2].
