The article investigates legal status of the chairman of the district court as head, marked differences in the volume and nature of its managerial powers similar to the powers of the heads of other state bodies, due to their executions of the preservation of the independence of judges, as well as a significant role in providing the district court of the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made about the need to reduce administrative powers of the chairman due to the transfer of most of these issues to the jurisdiction of the court administrator and the concentration of the chairmen on the problems of ensuring the uniform application of law, improving the efficiency of justice through the organisation of interaction between judges, joint discussion of law enforcement issues, participation in formation of educational programmes on courses of improvement of qualification of judges etc. It is proposed to create the necessary legislative prerequisites for the implementation of this role of chairpersons, taking into account the recommendations of the Consultative Council of European Judges, acting under the Council of Europe.
