The Judicial reform of 1864 for the first time in Russia introduced a vowel, classless and independent from the administration court, based on the principle of adversarial. There was established the institution of investigators, advocacy, jurors who determined the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Prominent role in the preparation of this reform a famous lawyer the State Secretary of the State Council S.I. Zarudny has played, under his leadership in 1862 the basic principles of the new judicial system and legal proceedings were worked out. It is considered that the judicial reform began in November 20, 1864, when Alexander II signed a government decree to the senate approving four pieces of legislation: The establishment of court of justice; Charter of criminal proceedings; Charter of Civil Procedure; Charter of the penalties imposed by magistrates. Subsequently, these acts were called judicial statutes.
