The purpose of the article is to show that the evaluation of the effectiveness of the justice mechanism, any of its links and its as a whole, cannot be simple. Moreover, an objective assessment is hardly possible, at least at the present stage of development of legislation, judicial practice and legal science. Awareness of such a situation should eliminate the temptation to solve the problem in simple ways, especially on the basis of a subjective understanding of the criteria for the effectiveness of the justice mechanism. At the same time, it is noted that an objective assessment of the effectiveness of the links of the justice mechanism is vital not only within the judiciary, but also to Russian society as a whole.

In the author’s understanding, the problems of objective assessment of the work of judges, judicial structures and judicial boards, as well as courts at each of these levels are called.
