In this article, the author considers the problems of continuity in the development of

individual institutions of civil procedural law from the second half of the 19th century to the

present. The scientific exactingness and subtlety of thinking inherent in the writings of the

founder of Russian civil law, Dmitry Ivanovich Meyer, allow a deeper and more accurate

understanding of the current contemporary problems of civil proceedings. The author

notes that under the current conditions, many obvious and generally accepted views on

the proper administration of justice, from the point of view of Dmitry Meyer, could hardly

be fully justified. This assumption is examined in detail in this study using an example of

the implementation of the principle of impartiality in the exercise of justice. In addition,

a separate emphasis is placed on the fact that the simplification of civil legal proceedings

cannot occur due to the rejection of procedural guarantees in the administration of justice.

The author of this article finds a valid idea that it is advisable to reorient the vector of

finding means to optimize legal proceedings in favor of integrating the capabilities of

artificial intelligence in the administration of justice in the legal field.

Keywords: law; justice; civil proceedings; impartiality of justice; procedural reform.
