Abstract: The work is devoted to identifying the main problems in the field
of the principle of legal proceedings in the context of the Covid-19
pandemic. The research applies the formal-legal, historical and legal,
comparative and modeling methodology. The order and issues to be
considered are as follows: in the first section, we will consider the challenges
and threats to justice that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the
second section, we will see the judicial experience during the pandemic in
the context of the basic principles of the judiciary. In the third section, we
examine the application of organizational and procedural principles of the
judiciary during the pandemic crisis. In the final fourth section, we will
assess the role of international judicial institutions and government bodies
in optimizing the administration of justice in the context of the Covid-19

judicial system and justice standards, the authors support the expansion of
exchange of experience and cooperation not only at the state level but also
