Annotation: This article is devoted to a rather interesting and understudied area of criminal procedure science, precisely, the methodology of drafting criminal procedure acts. In this work, the author substantiates the relevance of the issues under consideration and analyzes the main concepts of “methodology,” “technique,” and “method.” The author compares and relates these concepts in relation to criminal procedure activities. The author’s goal is to explore the possibility of applying methodology in the drafting of criminal procedure acts and to define its essence. The work was carried out using the dialectical method, methods of analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach, logical-legal and legal interpretation. As a result of the conducted research, the work substantiates the theoretical and practical significance of conducting research on issues related to criminal procedure acts and the methodology of their compilation; it develops a definition of the concept of “methodology” and its relationship with the terms “method” and “technique”. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: The article discusses the key issues of the integration of artificial intelligence in the practice of expert activity in judicial proceedings. At the same time, the problem of the “black box” – the opacity of algorithms, which prevents a full legal assessment of the results – is highlighted. The complexity of the explainability of deep neural network solutions and their incompatibility with the requirements of procedural law, which provides for the verifiability and reproducibility of expert opinions, is analyzed. The authors discuss modern methods for increasing the transparency of artificial intelligence, as well as multi-level expert verification with mandatory documentation of procedures. The need for interaction between developers, experts and lawyers to create legally acceptable and scientifically sound systems is emphasized. Special attention is paid to the role of an expert in the context of digitalization. The risk of replacing an expert with algorithmic solutions and the associated decrease in the quality of judicial conclusions and loss of professional autonomy is considered. In general, the authors note that the successful implementation of artificial intelligence in judicial practice requires a balance between technological innovations and maintaining the key role of an expert, as well as the forming of a comprehensive regulatory framework that ensures transparency, legality and quality of expert opinions. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: Control and supervisory activities as a type of procedural activity consist of various kinds of procedures, each of which is determined by deadlines that are important. The time limits within which the participants in the control and supervisory proceedings perform procedural actions streamline the control and supervisory activities, en- suring the openness, clarity and predictability of the control process. The presented article examines the issues of determining deadlines and their direct compliance by participants in control and supervisory proceedings. It was concluded that control and supervisory activities are carried out within the time limits established by the Law on State Control, as well as other legal acts. If deadlines are not set, they are appointed by the control (supervisory) body, taking into account the assessment of the risk of possible harm to legally protected values and the principle of efficiency, which sets the speed and intensity of the control process to achieve the best result of activities carried out by public authorities. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: The legal regulation of property rights and its interpretation in judicial practice currently indicate a revision of the institution of property law. When various economic interests collide, the problem of defining the boundaries of the right of ownership arises, and, thus, it determines the relevance of the study. The problems of determin- ing the rights of the owner in the case of seizure of land plots and in the event of foreclosure on the share of the spouse in the common property of the spouses show a tendency to reduce its property sphere. In order to prevent erroneous interpretation of the inviolability of the right of ownership, it is necessary to provide a theoretical justification for the priority of more significant interests when determining the scope of the owner’s property sphere. It is necessary to limit the seizure of garden and vegetable plots of land owned by citizens, and to simplify the procedure for reimbursing the cost of a land plot to the former owner in the event of its seizure.

Annotation: The aim of the work is to study the organizational and legal support of Russia’s demographic security in the con- text of modern existential threats, to develop proposals for improving legislation in this area, as well as a general legal assessment of the prospects for their further implementation. The concept and essence of demographic security are revealed in the context of the execution of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 05.07.2024 № 309 «On the national Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 and for the future up to 2036». The political and legal approach to the importance of family and marriage institutions is substantiated. The assessment of the legal correctness and socio-economic feasibility of legal regulators of migration policy in Russia is given, taking into account the new Federal Law № 138-FZ dated 04.28.2023 «On Citizenship of the Russian Federation». Proposals have been developed to improve legal regulation in the field of population maintenance in accordance with Russian national interests. Methodology: general scientific research methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, systematic and sociological analysis, comparative analytics) and methods of legal science, including comparative law and formal law, content analysis of legislative acts and court decisions, the method of adaptive forecasting in terms of the effectiveness of law enforcement. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
