The introduction of judicial reconciliation procedures in the arbitrazh, civil and administrative procedure can serve as a positive impetus for the development of a civilized and effective out-of-court dispute resolution in the Russian Federation. However, there are a number of provisions that are subject to critical analysis in the relevant norms of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, Administrative Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, and the Rules for conducting court mediation. Noteworthy are the rules establishing the requirements for candidates for judicial mediators regarding the need for retired judges to conduct research activities, which can hardly be justified. Due to the specificity of the conciliation procedure itself, it is also necessary to consider the issue of judicial mediators having knowledge and skills in the field of mediation. In this paper, the authors analyze some problems of mediation in resolving economic and other disputes in the Russian Federation and abroad, and propose some changes to the procedural legislation.
