Justice in BRICS Countries, 3(2) BRICS Law Journal 5–5 (2016).

Administrative justice is a special type of dispute resolution concerned with

the exercise of public power. To deal with disputes arising within this area, two

dierent models for adjudicating cases are commonly found: administrative courts

and specialized courts within the general courts system.

Most BRICS countries have adopted the specialized courts model, with the cases

heard by their courts of general jurisdiction. None of the BRICS countries has adopted

the administrative courts model.

In some countries, special laws regulate the proceedings. In Russia, China, and

South Africa legislative acts on administrative procedure have been adopted. For Ibero-

America, there is the Model Code of Administrative Procedure and Administrative

Justice.

Administrative justice in a comparative context was the topic of the II Siberian

Legal Forum, organized by Tyumen State University, from 29–30 September 2016.

BRICS Law Journal as one of the organizers of the conference devotes this issue to

the development of administrative legal proceedings in BRICS as well as in other

countries. It is pleased to publish the national reports on administrative justice in

Brazil, Argentina, Spain, France, Italy, Poland and Russia.
