A Sociology of Justice in Russia

The book ‘A Sociology of Justice in Russia’ edited by Marina Kurkchiyan and Agnieszka Kubal has been published in Cambridge University Press.

The book includes the chapter ‘When Business Goes to Court: Arbitrazh Courts’ in Russia’ prepared by Timur Bocharov and Kirill Titaev. This chapter explores how the relatively unique and autonomous structure of Russian commercial courts – known as Arbitrazh courts – operates. It takes a close look at the types of dispute decided on by Arbitrazh courts, how they process their caseload and the experiences of the different users of this institution of justice in Russia.
