Analyzing the situation in Ukraine the right observation has been made by the author on the fact that the number of proceedings every year is not reduced, and the terms of their consideration is only increased. Among factors of such phenomenon the author considers the following: absence of the proper legal education of citizens as to their attitude to the compromises and imperfection of the current mechanism of the legal regulation.
