Putin called for wider use of the mentoring system within the judiciary

President Vladimir Putin used a meeting with the judiciary to call for wider use of mentoring within Russia’s court system, citing both a shortage of judges and a decline in the number of arrests. He praised judges in the newly incorporated regions and proposed a monitoring system for implementation of Supreme Court Plenum rulings, signaling an effort to tighten oversight and standardize judicial practice. The moves indicate a push to consolidate control and improve capacity in the judicial sector amid institutional strain and public skepticism toward foreign courts.
