The reasons for the revival of arbitration, including sports and other forms of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) are identified and considered. The authors analyze the essence
definition of judicial proceedings, the judicial process and its changes in the historical aspect
on the example of civil and arbitral proceedings. The notion of adversarial legal procedure
that has been forming for almost a century in the Soviet and post-Soviet space, not only
in legislation, but also in people’s legal consciousness is considered. The reasons for which
modern states of different legal systems “remembered” about arbitration and arbitration
courts, alternative forms of conflict resolution, the simplified and reduced (abbreviated)
forms of proceedings (writ, absentee) are systematized. New ideas are highlighted in
the sphere of mediation, in electronic forms of dispute resolution and settlement taking
into account modern features of development of social relations. In the light of modern
global expansion of spheres of social relations, where legal form of rights protection has
become possible, attention is paid to the sphere of physical culture and sports and to the
problem of consideration and solution of sports disputes. Attention is paid to specialized
arbitrations: sports, banking, investment and others. The authors express their opinion
about the modern understanding of arbitration. The article tells about the formation of
the institute of mediation in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus and gives
a comparative characteristic of mediation and other forms of dispute resolution.

Keywords: legal proceedings; state courts; arbitration; arbitration proceeding; mediation;
sports disputes.
