Judicial ethics, its subject and essence

The article analyzes the problems of judicial ethics as a science of the application of moral norms, morality in the specific conditions of judges, prosecutors, investigators and lawyers, the imple-mentation of moral principles and requirements in the investigation and resolution of criminal cases, critically assesses opinions on the allocation of “professional morality” and specific moral norms for lawyers.

The author proposes to divide judicial ethics into General and Special parts; the first covers gen-eral theoretical questions about the nature of this science, methods of investigating judicial and ethical problems, etc.; the second - ethical issues of the activities of the main subjects of criminal proceedings: judges, prosecutors, investigators, lawyers. At the same time, two sets of issues are integrated into the subject of judicial ethics: the moral foundations of procedural norms and the moral ways of their application in the investigation and resolution of criminal cases.
