Some issues on improving the judicial system of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

This article discusses some issues related to improving the judicial system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is emphasized that the judiciary occupies a special place in the mechanism for protecting human rights. The importance of the category of justice for the judicial system is considered, the norms of the current legislation are analyzed, and it is concluded that the term “impartiality of judges” means justice.

Justice is impossible if the court is biased, and accordingly, biased justice gives rise to unfair decisions and leads to a low level of citizens' trust in the state as a whole.

The article also discusses such a problem as the high workload of judges, and it is proposed to introduce the institution of assistant judges. The legal experience of foreign countries in which the institute of judicial assistants operates is analyzed. World practice shows that assistant judges directly contribute to improving the quality of the administration of justice.

Particular attention is paid to the process of expanding the specialization of courts. An analysis of the administrative form of legal proceedings is carried out, as well as the provisions of the new Administrative Procedure Code.

In conclusion, this article concludes that the judicial system must be stable and conservative, and a unified judicial practice must be formed.
