Problems of Impartiality and Professional Dignity of Judges in the Context of the Development of the Information Society

The impartiality of judges, as the basic principle of the judicial system, is subject to reassessment by society, taking into account information disseminated on the Internet and social networks.

The purpose of the study is to consider the impact of digital technologies and informatization of society on the professional dignity and impartiality of judges. The tasks of assessing various approaches to the legal regulation of limiting the ability of court employees to lay out information on issues affecting the assessment of the circumstances of resolved disputes are being solved.

The possibilities of using the experience of other countries in the formation of prohibitions on the administration of justice by judges who published materials on the Internet that affect the implementation of the principle of impartiality are analyzed. Taking into account the experience of other countries, Russia needs to formulate its own approach to the behavior of judges in the information space. Social networks can be used by members of the judiciary to share and receive information. The dissemination of data discrediting professional dignity, as well as calling into question the impartiality of a judge, is unacceptable.
