MEDICAL SUPPORT OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Background. The paper presents the results of an analysis of the organization and legal regulation of the medical support of the Russian judicial system. It is noted that at present, in the theoretical and applied medical/legal literature, there are no comprehensive and systematic ideas about the medical support of employees (personnel) of social institutions that traditionally relate to the functioning of the judiciary (judges of courts of various instances; other court employees; workers (employees) prosecutors, lawyers, employees of enforcement agencies). The authors are trying to resolve this contradiction based on the study of relevant scientific sources. Materials and research methods. To obtain and generalize scientific data on the organization, essence, structure, content and features of the medical support of the judicial system, the principles of systematic, comparative legal and historical legal research were used as methodological approaches. The main methods were analysis and synthesis, systematization and conceptualization, comparison and analogy, deduction and induction, abstraction and generalization. Results. A consistent study of medical and legal literature, as well as the requirements of legal acts, made it possible to formulate a definition of the concept of medical support for the judicial system, to establish its scope and content, as well as the subject composition and subject-functional structure. Until now, there have been no such developments in medical and interdisciplinary research. Conclusion. Author’s developments allow you to know the system and structure, as well as the procedure for organizing medical support for employees of social institutions that are considered judicial. This leads to the systematization of scientific ideas about such a significant social phenomenon.
