AXIOSPHERE OF NATIONAL JUDICIARY: PHILOSOPHICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The article examines the axiological dimension of national judicial proceedings through the prism of the category of the axiosphere as a holistic system of legal values ​​that determine the content, direction and boundaries of the administration of justice. The relevance of the topic is due to transformational processes in the legal system of Ukraine, the influence of martial law and European integration processes, which require a rethinking of the value orientations of justice.

Summary of the main results of the study. It is argued that modern judicial proceedings cannot be considered exclusively as a formal and procedural activity, since its essence lies in the implementation of the fundamental values ​​of law - justice, the rule of law, human dignity and the right to a fair trial. The theoretical and methodological principles of the axiosphere of judicial proceedings are revealed, its structure and main levels are determined: fundamental (constitutional), procedural, institutional and functional values. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the basic values ​​of national judicial proceedings, in particular justice, independence of the court, good faith of the participants in the process, procedural economy, trust in the judiciary and the effectiveness of justice. The impact of modern challenges - martial law, European integration processes and digitalization of judicial proceedings - on the transformation of the axiosphere of justice is investigated. Special attention is paid to the problems and imbalances of the axiosphere of national judicial proceedings, among which the conflict between efficiency and justice, excessive formalism, lack of trust in the court and the risks of instrumentalization of procedural values ​​are highlighted.

Conclusion. The author's definition of the axiosphere of judicial proceedings is formulated as a hierarchically organized, dynamic system of interconnected legal values ​​that ensure coordination between formal normativity and the idea of ​​justice. The need for a transition to a value-oriented model of judicial proceedings as a condition for increasing the efficiency and legitimacy of the judiciary is substantiated.
