Abstract
The paper features the problem of the qualification standard for court representatives introduced into the Civil Procedure Code and the Arbitration Procedure of the Russian Federation. The current legislation that regulates relations in the field of higher education allows for a broader interpretation of the concept of “person with higher education”. In this regard, not every person with a higher legal education will be able to provide a qualitative representation in court. It may interfere with the right to qualified legal assistance and does not improve the quality of such assistance. The authors do not approve of the fact that the figure of attorney was excluded from the final text of the law, as well as the impossibility of joint representation of the party’s interests by several persons, including those without higher legal education, provided that at least one of them has the necessary education. The authors highlight various separate procedural problems associated with the non-uniform character of the requirements for representatives depending on the type of court. These problems are also found in the implementation of another institute introduced by the Federal Law of November 28, 2018, No. 451-FZ – namely, reference of jurisdiction.

Summary
49 ГПК РФ и 59 АПК РФ в редакции ФЗ No 451‐ФЗ закрепляют общие требования о наличии статуса адвоката или высшего юридического образования, или ученой степени по юридической специальности для всех представителей. 49 ГПК РФ в редакции ФЗ No 451-ФЗ таковы, что неясно, распространяется ли отсутствие требований об образовании на дела, подсудные мировым судьям и районным судам в принципе, может ли представитель без необходимого образования участвовать при производстве в суде апелляционной, кассационной, надзорной инстанции по этому делу, или на проверочных стадиях лицо, участвующее в деле, должно будет привлечь уже представителя, отвечающего соответствующим требованиям.
