In accordance with Article 118 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the independence of administrative justice is justified by the constitutional division of judicial proceedings into separate types. Under this approach, administrative justice is considered a derivative type of justice that is comparable to administrative proceedings. Given the insufficient level of legislative and doctrinal certainty regarding the administration of justice in the Russian legal system, the article focuses on developing scientifically grounded criteria for assessing the essence, place, and role of administrative justice, based on a comprehensive analysis of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal laws that define the procedures for certain types of administrative proceedings in the Russian Federation. The presented results of a comprehensive study of the constitutional norms and norms of federal laws governing certain types of administrative proceedings allowed us to draw a generalizing conclusion that administrative justice is the basic basis of the judicial administrative process in the Russian Federation. Accordingly, the structure of administrative justice is presented as the framework of the judicial administrative process carried out in the Russian Federation. The purpose, main objectives, and functions of administrative justice, in turn, are revealed as special legal categories that ensure the integrity of the judicial administrative process in the Russian Federation, as well as define the social purpose, system, and priority areas of development for this legal process.
