This review is a brief review of the monograph by S.A. Kurochkin “The Effectiveness of Civil
Proceedings”. The effectiveness and efficiency of judicial protection of rights, freedoms and
legitimate interests remains one of the urgent problems of modern jurisprudence. The book
describes the concept of the effectiveness of civil proceedings, which made it possible to look at
the issues of the effectiveness and efficiency of judicial activity in a comprehensive manner,
to apply the methods of sociology of law, a systematic approach and economic analysis of
law. The theoretical and applied aspects of effective going to court, an effective procedure for
considering a case, an effective court decision and effective verification procedures, which
together become the result of the implementation of effective rules of civil and arbitration
procedural law, are considered. Conditions, criteria and performance indicators, as well
as procedural means of ensuring and increasing the efficiency of modern Russian civil
proceedings are proposed. Also, the author makes a very interesting remark that in the great
and powerful Russian language there were not enough synonyms for the term “efficiency”, so
it is used by the author much more often than stylistic considerations require. In contrast, it
is noted that at least three consonant terms are used in the English-language legal literature,
reflecting different aspects of such a complex and rich phenomenon as efficiency.

Keywords: legal proceedings; civil procedure; efficiency of the rule of law; administration
of justice; monograph.
