The traditional values in judicial practice

Abstract

The article analyzes court rulings,  which refer  to  traditional values or  to phenomena, which  are  essentially traditional  values  but  are  not  named as such  directly  in  the judicial  acts .  It  is  substantiated that  despite  the inclusion  of  traditional family values  at the  constitutional  level in the  sphere of legal regulation,  as well  as  the  statement of the  task to protect traditional  values  in a  number  of strategic  legal  acts,  the regulatory  potential of  traditional values is  not used  by  the courts  enough . The  expansion  of the  application  of traditional  values  by the  courts to justify the judicial acts will  be facilitated by the  normative  consolidation  of the  definition  of  traditional family  values,  their  list,  the criteria  for attributing phenomena  and  moral guidelines to such, as well  as the  inclusion of references to traditional  values  in the normative  legal acts .
