ABSTRACT
The article analyses the peculiarities of legal regulation of state funding of jury trial maintenance in Ukraine. It has been established that public funding of the judicial system in Ukraine is currently extremely limited, which is a consequence of the economic crisis in Ukraine due to the temporary annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, permanent military clashes in the east of Ukraine and the global pandemic coronavirus. Moreover, in economically developed countries, the level of state funding of the judicial system directly depends on the economic potential of the state and its stability in the global economic market. Therefore, it is necessary for Ukraine, first of all, to move towards improving its position within the global economic market and overcoming all manifestations of economic crisis. It has been established that jury trial is one of the key institutions of judicial power, the judiciary and have proved the urgency of further improvement of jury trial mechanisms, but only in the criminal proceedings, because in case of their adoption by the Supreme Council of Ukraine, jury trials will not have any legitimacy in civil proceedings. On the basis of the cited statistical data it was established that the monetary compensation for jury trial in Ukraine is minimal in comparison to the USA, Canada or France. The UK, on the contrary, does not provide for monetary compensation of jurors in its legislation;only travel and per diem compensation exist. The high level of jury monetary compensation depends first of all on the social and economic development of the country. Concludingly, the legislator's actions of the recent years are directed at the classical jury trial model, which exists in many countries of the world, with an appropriate level of financial assistance and an appropriate level of logistical support. © 2022 Seventh Sense Research Group®.
