The article considers the factors influencing Russia’s insufficient spread of mediation and judicial conciliation. It is substantiated that eliminating these factors will contribute to the development of conciliation procedures. The article aims to analyze the factors influencing the insufficient spead of mediation and judicial conciliation in Russia and offers ways to overcome them. The authors applied formal legal analysis to investigate the legal regulation of mediation and judicial conciliation. A systemic approach was used to address the mediation and judicial conciliation issues in Russia and offer ways to solve them. The article gives examples from court practice illustrating positive results in the form of concluded amicable and mediation agreements with the court’s assistance in achieving reconciliation by the parties to the dispute and studies the terms of amicable agreements. It also substantiates the ability of family disputes to be resolved by mediation and reveals procedural violations, which courts allow when approving amicable agreements.
