Abstract
The article explores Russians' satisfaction with their experiences in court and with the legal system more generally.The analysis draws on a nationally representative survey of Russians, fielded by the Levada Center in 2010.The results show that most court veterans believe that the decision in their case was just, and that the judge treated them well. But these positive feelings do not extend beyond their case. Russians who have no court experience tend to have more favorable views about the legal system than do court veterans.
These findings serve to remind us of the difficulty of building confidence in the legal system in post-Soviet Russia.
