The challenges of modernity are forming new realities in the implementation of legal norms, including in the field of civil and arbitration proceedings. In this regard, the authors set a goal to analyze the features of legal relations developing in these areas in their relationship with the new economic conditions generated by recent world events. The authors analyzed the statistics of the growth in the number of court cases in recent years, as well as the studies of civil lawyers in this area, on the basis of which the conclusion was made about the need to consider the prospects of civil and arbitration proceedings. By means of a comparative analysis, the sphere of relations concerning the relevance of applying to international arbitration at the present time, as well as the practice of considering cases at this level, is investigated. The main directions that will cause difficulties in international proceedings in modern political and economic conditions are identified and a possible solution is identified — the prospect of applying to neutral international arbitration centers. The domestic practice of civil and arbitration proceedings has been studied and some ways of solving difficulties in terms of improving the judicial system and possible options for reducing the burden on the courts, taking into account the opinions of scientists and practicing lawyers, have been identified. The conclusion is made about the need for a global judicial reform with a possible partial solution of the identified problems by turning to the field of information technologies, which are successfully used by the state in the provision of public services and as an analogue could be used in conducting civil and arbitration proceedings.Keywords:
