[edit] Scope

The article only descibes the Juducual system of RE after 1864. Maybe we should put in the name Judicial system of the Russian Empire (1864-1917) ? Alex Bakharev 07:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

No, we should add and fill an appropriate section. I don't have sufficient info about the period before 1864 (only EB1911 for now). Maybe section stub will be better. Kmorozov 15:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

On the contrary, this article must be a summary of the overall changes, while the particular major reforms must be detailed in the corresponding articles:


A possible additional source may be Brokhaus-Efron. Also, consistency of terminology must be figured out for old russian legal terms.

Also, B-E mentions "law of 1808" what was it? Also, Poland and Baltic gubernias had their own laws. Etc. Huge work here. And with current content the article is rather misleading. So, contrary KMorozov, the 1864 must be split out ASAP into "Alex II", leaving only summary section, and other section stubs added instead, for milestones, to have a minimal impression of full coverage. `'Míkka 21:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't many of the sentences (particularly the section on Ecclesiastical and volost courts) be written in the past tense as none of these are applicable in Russia anymore? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiviedit (talk • contribs) 01:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
