metadata.value: The article examines the challenges of holding the presidents of general jurisdiction courts liable
  to disciplinary measures and issues of terminating their powers. It is shown that the legal
  status of the presidents of general jurisdiction courts encompasses various elements, such as
  the procedure for terminating their powers, their liability, the procedure for replacing their
  post, their competence, and guarantees of independence. Five cases of termination of the powers
  of the president of a general jurisdiction court were considered: automatic suspension
  in the event of termination or suspension of powers as a judge, which may be directly tied
  to disciplinary proceedings, limitation of an office term, voluntary rejection of the position
  while retaining the powers of a judge, early termination of the court president’s powers while
  maintaining his/her position as judge for failure to fulfill or inadequately fulfill his/her official
  duties, commission of an act defaming the honor and dignity of a judge, as well as in any other
  circumstances specified under federal constitutional law indicating the inability of a judge to
  perform his/her duties. Significant gaps in matters of early termination of the court presidents’
  powers are evident in Russian judicial practice, as demonstrated by numerous examples. The
  matters concerning the disciplinary liability of the presidents of general jurisdiction courts are
  analyzed with respect to the procedures, grounds and peculiarities for holding both judges
  and court presidents liable. A practical view of the modern interpretation of the concept “disciplinary
  offense of a judge” is shown. Recommendations have been made to improve the Russian
  legislation that deals with the issues of disciplinary liability of the presidents of general
  jurisdiction courts and termination of their powers, with a focus on the Law of the Russian
  Federation on the Status of Judges in the Russian Federation of 1992.
