	Soviet law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The legal system of the Soviet Union was the principal model followed by other members of the Soviet family of legal systems (Mongolia, the People's Republic of China, the countries of eastern Europe, Cuba and Vietnam being the most notable).
		Soviet Law did not use an adversary system, in which a plaintiff and defendant argue before a neutral judge.
		Soviet Law also guaranteed defendants the right to legal representation, and the right to be tried in their native language, or to use an interpreter.

		The Soviet Union, founded three decades before the Cold War, became a primary model for future Communist nations; the socialist government and the political organization of the country were defined by the only permitted political party, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
		The Soviet Union was established in December 1922 as the union of the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Transcaucasian Soviet republics ruled by Bolshevik parties.
		The Soviet Union occupied the eastern portion of the European continent and the northern portion of the Asian continent.

	Foreign Affairs - The Soviet Union and the Rule of Law - Richard Thornburgh
		An examination of the importance of establishing the rule of law as a central goal of Soviet reformism, based on a visit to the USSR in Oct 1989, during which "legal, political and even philosophical issues", including pluralism, separation of powers and legal code revision, were discussed at the highest official level.
		Furthermore the Soviet Union must create a constitutional structure that includes a legal system that is not subordinate to the state but rather offers equal justice under law to everyone, thus fulfilling the law's traditional role as a mediator among conflicting societal interests.
		By rule of law I mean not just normative rules but a systemic process that inculcates the principles of limited government, due process and a "legal culture." The leadership's initial goal, therefore, should be nothing less than turning the Soviet Union into a law-abiding state.

	[No title]
		Hendley exceeds all previous treatments of Soviet law in that she bases much of this book on the extensive fieldwork and interviews which she conducted in 1989-90 with judges, procurators, people’s assessors, scholars, enterprise managers, and others, with the purpose of discovering just how wide the gap between Soviet legal theory and practice was.
		The Party-controlled "trade unions," coopted by management since both the unions and management had a higher interest in meeting or appearing to meet quotas, were in practice no friend of the worker.
		From all of this Hendley concludes that law did not "matter" during the Soviet period partly because the judiciary was not independent.

	East European Constitutional Review
		Law 113 also did not augment pension levels, although the government had explicitly presented the new formula to the Duma as a means of substantially increasing pensions.
		In his estimation, as the head of a legal-advice center, most of these concern labor law and legal termination, the main area of Hendley’s original 1989-90 field research, and the basis of her judgment that there was little demand for law in Russia, at least at that time.
		Scholars have argued that the coercive use of law in the Soviet period influenced legal attitudes later on, but now we should investigate which aspects of the use of law in the Soviet era encouraged pensioners to employ the courts so vigorously and effectively, apparently in advance of other groups.

	The Acceptance by the Soviet Union of the Compulsory Jurisdiction of the ICJ for Six Human Rights Conventions
		It may be said that the Soviet Union's acceptance of the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ for the six human rights conventions should not be overestimated because disputes concerning these conventions will rarely arise.
		The principal Soviet international law policy in the field of peaceful settlement of disputes is now formulated in the USSR Memorandum on Enhancing the Role of International Law, annexed to a September 29, 1989, letter to the Secretary-General of the UN.
		Regarding this principally new line in international law policy, the Soviet Union's acceptance of the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ for the six human rights conventions was a signal, a signpost at a crossroads.

		Soviet's are locally governed regions of the USSR and are subject to the constitution of the USSR as well as any acts passed by the Congress of Soviets or Central Executive Committee.
		Soviet's are charged with deciding all issues of purely local importance and may raise revenues if required as they best see fit.
		The form of government used by any Soviet must be decided upon by the people of that Soviet provided it is compliant with the constitution (fundamental law) of the Soviet Union.

		In this book, based on the Arthur Goodhart Lectures, 1982, John Hazard interprets the practice of Soviet law across the entire range of its functions -from the drafting of constitutions and the enforcement of economic policy to the suppression of religion and the control of family life - Professor Hazard picks out two main themes.
		He emphasises the role of law in the continued effort of policy-makers in the Soviet Communist Party to shape society according to the ideological dictates of Party policy and to mould a new 'Soviet man'.
		Throughout, the development of the law in the Soviet Union is compared and contrasted with Western experience in a manner easily comprehensible to the layman.

		Lacking a common-law tradition, Soviet law did not provide for an adversary system in which the plaintiff and the defendant argued before a neutral judge.
		Judges kept legal technicalities to a minimum because the court's stated purpose was to find the truth of a case rather than to protect legal rights.
		The law also guaranteed defendants legal representation and the right to trial in their native language or to the use of an interpreter.
