Abstract
The High Anti-Corruption Court is a relatively recently established anti-corruption body in Ukraine. We would like to note that the study of the legal and organizational principles of its activities has allowed us to identify some controversial or imperfect issues that, in our opinion, need to be eliminated and revised. The purpose of the article is to define and characterize the areas of improving the administrative and legal status of the High Anti-Corruption Court in Ukraine. The object of this research is the range of public relations connected to the activities of this court as a whole. And the subject of the study is to improve its administrative and legal status. Achieving this goal in the study became possible through the use of a set of research methods: logical semantic method, documentary analysis method, system-structural method, formal legal method, forecasting method, and more. It was emphasized that the efficacy of the High Anti-Corruption Court, as an essential component of the institutional structure of anti-corruption institutions, determines the effectiveness of anti-corruption reform in general. The key areas for improving the administrative and legal status of the High Anti-Corruption Court have been analyzed.
