The legal nature of judicial reconciliation	Introduction. The article examines the legal nature of judicial reconciliation with the participation of a judicial conciliator (hereinafter referred to as judicial reconciliation), and highlights the debatable nature of the topic under consideration. The authors state that it is necessary to disclose the legal nature of judicial reconciliation in order to clarify its place in the legal system of Russia and to identify functional links with other related institutions of substantive and procedural law. Problem statement. The article argues that the success of the introduction of the institution of judicial reconciliation into legal practice depends on the disclosure of its legal nature in the system of human rights tools and mechanisms. At the same time, the ambiguity of the term of “legal nature” itself contributes to uncertainty in this matter. It is proved that the content of the term of “legal nature” includes various signs of the phenomenon, which must be consistently disclosed in the process of cognition. The authors emphasize that the legal nature of judicial reconciliation is complex, dualistic. This is expressed in a combination of judicial (jurisdictional) and extra-judicial (non-jurisdictional, alternative) characteristics, which is clearly revealed in the dualism of the legal status of the judicial conciliator. Theoretical and empirical analysis. The analysis of the legislation shows that, on the one hand, a judicial conciliator is a former judge who has extensive practical experience in legal proceedings and a vision of the prospects for resolving the case; on the other hand, the judicial conciliator, while remaining part of the judicial system, is free from rigid conservativecorporatist judicial discipline when conducting judicial reconciliation and can, without excessive formalism and substantive resolution of the case, offer the parties mutually benefi cial reconciliation conditions, under which the legal confl ict will be resolved. Results. The authors conclude that the duality of the legal nature of judicial reconciliation is due to the convergence processes that take place in the Russian law and trends associated with the change in the confi guration of the judiciary.

Prospects and problems of using machine-readable law in legal proceedings	Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the potential application of machine-readable law technologies in the field of judicial protection of human rights. In the course of the research, the authors analyzed the Concept of development of machine-readable law technologies, approved by the Governmental Commission on Digital Development and the Use of Information Technologies for Improving the Quality of Life and the Business Environment. It was established that the achievement of one of the key directions of application of machine-readable law, according to the Concept, i.e. modernization of judicial proceedings in Russia, will objectively entail the improvement of the procedure of judicial protection of human rights. Theoretical analysis. The current state of legal proceedings in the Russian Federation is characterized by a set of problems that negatively affect the efficiency of the judicial protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in Russia. The concept of development of machinereadable law technologies offers a number of directions for the improvement of law enforcement in the framework of judicial proceedings in the Russian Federation with the use of machine-readable law technologies, which, hypothetically, will lead to the improvement of the mechanism of judicial protection of human rights. In turn, scientific community also puts forward additional directions of application of machine-readable law in the field of legal proceedings. Empirical analysis. The “advantages” of application of machine-readable law in court proceedings, highlighted by the Concept of development of machine-readable law technologies, can be recognized as effective in the tactical perspective. In addition, the development and application of the concept of machine-readable law in the field of judicial protection of human rights can be associated with the development and use of artificial intelligence technologies. Results. According to the results of the study of the Concept of development of machine-readable law technologies, as well as the ideas of legal scholars, the authors reached conclusions about the usefulness of the chosen approach to the definition of the concept of machine-readable law in the document. Notwithstanding some theoretical flaws in formulation of the machine-readable law and its ontology in the studied Conception, certain directions of development and implementation of the machinereadable law in the sphere of legal proceedings have tactical character, seem to be useful and effective for improvement of judicial protection of human rights. At the same time, this approach to the definition of machine-readable law and guidelines for its development can be used in the future to improve the concept in order to solve strategic problems of judicial enforcement.
