The author of the famous two-volume book “Law and Custom in the Caucasus” MM Kovalevsky focused on the judicial life of the mountaineers of the North-Eastern Caucasus. Being several times in a scientific expedition to the Caucasus, the scientist collected a great deal of customary law, including monuments of the rights of the peoples of Dagestan. In addition, he himself described adats, for example “Bezhit's adats” and gave an excellent scientific analysis of the “Decisions of Rustem-Khan and Utsmia Kaytag” under the original name “Dagestan people's truth”. His professional opinion is also interesting because he is in control of the situation in the judicial sphere, not only in Russia, but also in a number of Western European countries. The article focuses specifically on assessing the state of the judicial system in different regions of the North Caucasus and Dagestan.
