Amendments to Support Courts' Independence

President Dmitri Medvedev has submitted legislative amendments concerning the court system, including a prohibition on any action or inaction by the executive branch infringing on judicial independence (broadening the existing prohibition on issuance of regulations infringing on judicial independence), providing for an additional layer of appeal in the courts of general jurisdiction, and giving courts' chief judges increased authority in appointment of judges.
