The relevance of the study is due to the need to find acceptable examples for Russia of the regulation of the institute of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings, the formulation of which in the current Criminal Procedure Code of Russia is not entirely successful. Russian researchers practically do not pay attention to the study of existing foreign experience. The purpose of the study is to identify the constructive elements of the normative model of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings in Georgia. To achieve the purpose of the study, the following tasks are formulated: to study the evolution of the institute of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings; to give a periodization of the development of the institute; to analyze the regulatory regulations and outline the architectonics of the institute of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings. The object of the study is the criminal procedure legislation of Georgia, the subject is the regulatory of the Georgian Institute of Judicial Control over Pre-trial Proceedings. The novelty of the results obtained is due to the subject of the study, which has so far remained out of the attention of Russian scientists. As a hypothesis, the assumption is formulated that the regulation of the institute of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings may contain provisions acceptable for reception. The research methodology includes the principles of scientific cognition – objectivity, pluralism, historicism and a set of methods: description, analysis, synthesis, historical-diachronic, formal-logical and comparative. There are two stages in the development of the institute of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings in Georgia: 1) establishment and consolidation of the main elements of the Institute (1998–2009) and 2) further development of the Institute (2010 – present). The design of the institute of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings in Georgia is similar to that in Russia, but has a number of differences. The main features of the regulation include the establishment of a special subject – a magistrate judge exercising judicial control over pre-trial proceedings; a wider range of areas of judicial control, including deposition of witnesses statements; deposition of testimony; consolidation of general and special provisions of the procedure for making a court decision on the application of procedural coercion measures and investigative actions and specific deadlines for resolving petitions and complaints.
