KAZAN UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW . Volume 2, Autumn 2017, Number 3 Dear Readers, I am delighted to welcome you to the third regular issue of the Kazan University Law Review 2017. This issue of the journal presents articles on cur- rent topics in theory and practice of Russian and foreign law. The opening article by Vladimir Orlov and Vladimir Yarkov, esteemed scholars, our colleagues from Finland (University of Helsinki) and Russia (Ural State Law University), is about the specifics of recognition and execution of international arbitration decisions. This topic is extremely relevant today in connection with the ongoing reforms in Russia in the field of arbitration and arbitration proceedings. The authors of the article note that the new Russian arbitration law has improved the regulation of arbitration in Russia with respect to the system of internal arbitration by providing adequate rules for the organizational and procedural bases for arbitration, decision-making and termination of proceedings, “friendly proceedings” and recourse against the arbitral award, and also the rules on responsibility for the enforcement of the award. The provisions of the new law follow the UNCITRAL Model Regulations while maintaining some of the features that are typical only of Russian legislation in the field of enforcement of arbitral awards. The article by our colleague Professor Dr. Michael Stürner, M. Jur. (Oxford Uni- versity), University of Konstanz, Judge at the Higher Regional Court of Karlsruhe, examines the role of the German Supreme Court in the system of civil justice. After a brief overview of the institutional aspects, the author devotes his attention to the subject of access to justice in the federal courts, as well as evolving judicial control in the area of appeal. Russian law, and especially the science of criminal law, is the subject taken up by Anatoly Naumov in the article by this outstanding graduate of Kazan University, Professor of the Academy of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, who gives a detailed account of this field of law. It is fortunate for us that the author devoted his studies to the history of the formation and development of the School of Criminal Law at Kazan University. His article highlights the scientific traditions formed in Kazan and shows their role in modern criminal law, including the interpretation of the rules of criminal law legislation relevant today. This issue’s Comments section contains a joint article by two of our colleagues from Russian universities, Dmitry Lipinsky, Doctor of Law, Professor, Togliatti State KAZAN UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW . Volume 2, Autumn 2017, Number 3 University, and Konstantin Evdokimov, Associate Professor, Irkutsk Law Institute (Branch) of the Academy of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation. Their subject is comparative legal research devoted to the criminal law legislation of the Russian Federation and foreign countries covering responsibility for committing computer crimes. Comparative legal analysis was conducted by the authors at the level of the national criminal law systems (Russia, the USA, China, France, Germany, and other countries) and at the level of legal families: the Anglo-American (the UK, the USA), the Roman-Germanic (Russia, France, Germany, Italy, etc.), Scandinavian (Sweden, Denmark), and Socialist (China). It is noteworthy that the criteria for comparative legal study were: the source of law that criminalizes the commission of computer crimes as well as objective and subjective elements of the crime. Closing out the practical part of the issue, Conference Reviews contains descriptive pieces by lawyers from Kazan, who review two law events of this autumn: “Review of the Kazan International Legal Forum (KAZAN LEGAL, 14–16 September 2017)”, and “Review of the IV Annual Symposium of the Journal Herald of Civil Procedure: “2017 – E-justice and information technologies in civil procedure (29 September 2017)”. I extend a warm welcome to each of you and wish you a stimulating and rewarding reading experience. With best regards, Editor-in-Chief Damir Valeev KAZAN UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW .
