Several prominent members of the Russian Parliament (Duma) submitted a bill for consideration that will legalize remote trials in Russia. If the bill is passed, Russian judges will be allowed to try civil and criminal cases that originate in regions beyond the jurisdiction of those judges' courts. One of the primary purposes of the bill is to promote fair trials in the Caucasus region in southern Russia where local criminal and religious clans often impact judicial impartiality. Prominent Russian lawyer Igor Trunov and other experts have expressed support for the bill.
