The article examines the problems of effective improvement of a new conciliation procedure in the Russian litigation-judicial reconciliation. The study was carried out based on the results obtained during legal experiments on the integration conciliation procedures into civil proceedings, which took place in the Sverdlovsk region in 2011 – 2014 and in the Lipetsk region – in 2013 – 2014. The study analysed the possibility of attributing judicial conciliation to the models of conciliation procedures (private or integrated). Authors concluded that it is impossible to classify judicial conciliation as only one certain model due to the presence of features from both private and integrated models of conciliation procedures. The authors carried out comparative analysis between the judicial conciliation and mediation. Overall, the conclusion is the following - the requirements for a mediator and for a judicial conciliation should be identical in terms of qualifications. In order to obtain qualifications, a judicial conciliator must undergo special training. The implementation of the set out conclusions on the need for special training of judicial conciliators will lead to an increase in the effectiveness of the application of the judicial conciliation procedure and, as a consequence, to a caseload decrease.

Secondly, the authors kept up to date the issue of popularizing conciliation procedures among citizens, the solution of which is proposed to be achieved by teaching special skills of the judiciary for the effective implementation of conciliation in the civil procedure.
