PROBLEM IN SOLVING THE ACCESS PROBLEM TO JUSTICE IN COURT OF APPEALS

The article addresses the issue of access to justice in courts of appeal. This problem arises due to the large territorial area of judicial appeal districts. It can be resolved through the use of video conferencing, as well as in the organization of the work of courts of appeal on the basis of permanent judicial presence and visiting sessions. The first two forms of solving the problem are fixed by law, and there is no proper legislative consolidation of the organization of work on the basis of visiting sessions, which indicates the gap of Russian legislation in this regard. The author turned to the Soviet experience in organizing the work of courts on the basis of visiting sessions. He concludes that this form of organization of work most effectively solves the problem of access to justice, brings justice closer to the population, increases the authority of the judiciary and implements the educational function of the court.
