Annotation: the right of nations to self-determination, which is predominantly seen as a territorial separation, until the establishment of a sovereign state, in many countries and regions has brought about certain negative consequences.

Keywords: autonomy, national cultural autonomy, state, nation, right of nations to self-determination, national government, national legal policy.

Annotation: the problem of culture of the statement of judicial acts in civil and arbitration processes is of particular relevance in connection with the increasing importance of such principles of justice as openness and accessibility. The legal framework should be placed on the Internet and in the data bases of the courts. A procedural document adopted in the case becomes public.

Keywords: judicial acts, civil and arbitration processes, requirements of judicial acts, level of acts of justice culture, official language and style of court documents, competence of judicial acts, procedural documents, procedural culture.
