Abstract
This article analyzes the functional potential of legal procedural policy as a doctrinal and practical tool. Its four main functions were identified: doctrinal, managerial, organizational, and supervisory, each playing a critical role in the state’s efforts to ensure justice, uphold the rule of law, and protect of the rights of participants in the judicial process. The problems of goal setting in modern procedural legislation, the fragmentation of goals and objectives in law enforcement, poor court management and organization, and ambiguities in the supervisory system were critically examined. The analysis shows that the effective development of legal procedural policy is possible only under the condition of a systematic approach that methodologically combines normative, functional, and axiological aspects. Legal analytics emerges as an important mechanism for increasing the effectiveness and transparency of justice through objective evaluation, rigorous doctrinal analysis, and forecasting of the consequences of the application of law. The need to shift from the broad application of procedural rules to their targeted outcome-oriented effectiveness based on the principles of fairness, legality, accessibility, and technological modernization of the judicial system was emphasized.
