Abstract
Based on the study of archival materials, the article is aimed to reveal the process of formation of the judicial system of the First Republic of Armenia by means of reception of the judicial statutes of Alexander II, and thereafter the change of the initial democratic stance and legislative abolition of certain principles of justice. These changes, whose motives were not limited to only political ones, were not only a consequence of a low level of legal culture and awareness of the political elite, but they were also a result of a collision between democratic legislation and an extraordinary situation in public relations.
