The currently ongoing information revolution has become one of the most significant perquisites for the formation of a new legal order — “new realities”, characterized by the formation of “electronic state“. The challenges of this “new reality” make search for science-based solutions ever more topical, including the means and methods and technologies for legal regulation with regard to public relationships. An attempt to look for said mechanisms was undertaken by the participants of the XI International School for young scholars — jurists “Effective law enforcement: doctrine and practice”. It was held at the Institute of Legislation and Comparative law under the Government of the Russian Federation on May 27, 2016. One of the sections of said School was dedicated to “Law enforcement in the light of formation of electronic state“. The article contains summary of the discussions and the outcomes.

Modern constitutional transformations, asserting a “value” legal understanding, actualize theoretical and practical problems of legislative regulation, serve as a prereq- uisite for rethinking the essence, role and significance of law in the life of society, and determine the formulation of a number of issues related, first of all, to the qualitative implementation of novelties. This collection reflects the diversity and depth of scientific discussions of the XV In- ternational school of young legal scholars on the topic “Constitution and modernization of legislation”, which was held by the Institute of legislation and comparative law under the Government of the Russian Federation in cooperation with the International Union of lawyers. In the context of a difficult epidemiological situation related to the spread of corona- virus infection, in order to protect the health of conference participants, the organizing Committee decided to hold the XV School remotely (by correspondence). For the first time, all its scientific events were held online. The participants had a unique opportunity to communicate with the direct developers of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, present their reports in a new format.

Personal reception represents a way of submitting citizens’ complaints and one of the forms of implementation of the constitutional right of citizens to appeal (complain). However, the legislative regulation of the issue under consideration seems insufficient, which has given rise to adverse law enforcement practice.The article determines signs of personal reception that allow us to distinguish it from other types of citizen’s communication with officials. The paper makes a thorough analysis of the duty of officials to conduct personal reception. Two models of performing the reception are highlighted: 1) personal reception is carried out only by chairpersons (of the government agency as a whole, its deputies or heads of structural divisions); 2) personal reception is carried out not only by chairpersons, but also by other authorized officials or specialized units. Moreover, the paper focuses on the problem of delegation of the obligation to perform personal reception to other officials.The paper investigates the procedure of personal reception that includes four stages: registration for personal reception (optional stage); arrival of a citizen at the place and time provided for personal reception, identification and determination of the order of personal reception; personal intercourse with the official, including a statement of the essence of the oral request or submission of a written application; registration of a personal reception card. Special attention is paid to the issue of registration of a personal reception, which allowed to formulate conclusions about the most relevant content of a personal reception card. The procedure of holding the all- Russian day of personal reception and experience of introduction of regional uniform days of personal reception in constituent entitities of the Russian Federation is analyzed.Also, the author scrutinizes the experience of organizing personal receptions in various governmental bodies and authorities in order to generalize additional guarantees of the rights of citizens during personal reception, as well as to develop an approximate list of feasible constrains.

This research article, prepared for the 90th anniversary of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, reviews problems of conflict of interests prevention in the context of the search of the optimum definition which most fully reflects the whole range of its possible manifestations. On the basis of the etymological analysis of the “interest” concept, the authors of the article draw the conclusion that it is the combination of the subjective and objective aspects that most fully reflects the nature of interest. At the same time the authors note that the definition norms on the conflict of interests contained in the legislation on public service in many states, including Russia, do not fully meet the requirements of law-enforcement practice. The authors suggest ways of improvement of the “conflict of interests” concept which takes into account modern realities of this legal phenomenon development.

Due to the new coronavirus pandemic, high alert regimes were introduced across the Russian Federation in spring 2020. These emergency regimes were established exclusively by the state bodies of the Russian Federation’s constituent units – federal authorities did not introduce their own emergency regimes. This decentralized strategy of fighting the pandemic was also introduced by the USA and Brazil. Their states, without the sanction of the federal government, and in the case of Brazil, ignoring its bans, set emergency restrictions similar to those in Russia. The legal regulation of emergency regimes existed before 2020, when constituent units of the federation (states) actively used their emergency powers. However, the regimes introduced during the fight against the pandemic were slightly different to previous ones. The restrictions on rights and freedoms within these regimes were so severe that not only their proportionality was questioned, but there were also doubts as to whether the regional level of the government had the authority to establish such strict restrictions. In addition, the pandemic exposed old problems and revealed new shortcomings in the legal regulation of emergency regimes: lack of control over the realization of the emergency regime by legislative (representative) authorities, and gaps in legislative regulation – notably in the establishment of possible restrictions and of a mechanism for scrutinizing their proportionality. All this raised questions about the proportionality of the established restrictions. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation resolved a very insignificant amount of the problems. While the United States and Brazil faced similar issues, the practice of scrutinizing implemented restrictions in these countries was more common. This article takes domestic and foreign experiences into account, while examining certain aspects of the establishment and the operation of regional emergency regimes.

Introduction: the emergence of such freelancing as remote labor meant the beginning of the process of the flexible virtual law formation. “Cloud computing” is coming into life. There appear the concepts of “working in the cloud” only in the virtual (digital) space, so the government program “Digital economy in the Russian Federation” of July 28, 2017, No. 1632-P adopted in the framework of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 9, 2017 provided the need for the formation of a comprehensive legislative regulation of relations arising in connection with the digital economy development. At the same time, it is specifically noted that the labor market should be based on its requirements in order to create productive employment. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is the methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the methods of consistency, analysis and comparative law. Results: the paper is devoted to the existing problems of the legal regulation of digital technologies in labor relations for the expedient and empirical updating of many legal norms, from which in the future it will be possible to start, change and supplement it, adhering to a fundamental change in labor relations in order to develop non-standard and fruitful employment. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research it is established that in the Russian Federation the labor legislation regulating the electronic legal employment relations is fragmented and does not contain all the elements of the legal regulation. There is a need for the legislation on archive business in electronic form, the widespread introduction of electronic employment contracts, which can serve as the basis for the electronic personnel records management. The labor legislation should contain the provisions on the equivalence of an electronic labor contract to a written form.

Due to the emergence of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), measures aimed at limiting its spread have made it impossible to administer justice in compliance with its democratic principles, implying the possibility of personal participation of all interested parties in court procedures to effectively defend their interests. In this regard, on April 8, 2020, the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation adopted a decree recommending that the courts, among other measures, intensify the work of Internet receptions, ensure the reception, processing and registration of documents submitted to the courts in electronic form, including in the form of an electronic document, consider cases and materials of urgent nature in court hearings using the video-conferencing system and (or) the web-conference system. Despite the fact that in accordance with the program for the development of the Russian judicial system, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 27, 2012 № 1406, the modernization of the work of courts based on digital technologies has already begun in the country, their development in criminal proceedings lags behind other methods of administering justice. Given this circumstance, as well as the actual absence in the criminal process of electronic document management and legal regulation of the grounds and procedure for conducting a trial in the mode of a web conference, the article attempts to determine the limits of the possibilities of using new technologies in criminal proceedings, to substantiate the conclusion that that the use of digital technology in criminal proceedings is not only possible, but necessary, as well as to determine the direction of development of criminal proceedings in this direction.

The article systematizes legal acts at the international, Federal and departmental levels on the use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement. In particular, at the international level, the corresponding legal act, according to the author, should contain three components of legal regulation: 1) regulate the organization and construction of an artificial intelligence system between States; 2) determine the principles of functioning of artificial intelligence; 3) regulate the ethical issues of using artificial intelligence. The legal basis for the use of artificial intelligence systems in law enforcement at the Federal level, in addition to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, should be the Strategy for the development of the information society in the Russian Federation (Strategy) for 2017-2030, as well as some special Federal laws (for example, the Law of Moscow), which are designed to specify the mechanism for using the advantages of artificial intelligence in all spheres of public life, including law enforcement. The author notes that the mentioned strategy defines only the General provisions of the state policy on the development of information technologies and artificial intelligence technologies. At the same time, the implementation of national interests outlined in the Strategy is impossible without the effective work of law enforcement agencies, whose functioning, in turn, is impossible without a well-built system of interaction between information support and artificial intelligence. The final part of the paper presents some proposals for improving the legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement, in particular, justifies the need to adopt a national Doctrine for the use of a Unified system of information support and artificial intelligence in the activities of law enforcement agencies.
