Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the foreign and Ukrainian experience in the development of the institution of mediation in administrative and legal disputes. Research methods are analysis, synthesis, generalization, analogy, comparative law, analysis of court practice, and others. The article examines the requirements for a professional mediator as an element of the effectiveness of mediation in administrativelegal disputes and the European experience of normative-legal consolidation of the organization of mediation in administrative-legal disputes. The authors analyze the possibility of involving a notary as a qualified lawyer and mediator, especially in public legal disputes. The study provides examples of successful mediation implementation practices in the United States and European Union countries. In addition, the authors emphasized the need for institutional mediation to resolve administrative-legal disputes, taking into account their complexity, using France’s experience to improve publiclegal relations in Ukraine. It has been emphasized that mediation helps to reduce the burden on the judicial system, ensures a faster and more efficient resolution of administrative cases, and helps preserve the relationship between the parties, building trust between the state and the citizen.
