The article reveals the possibilities of restorative justice in juvenile criminal cases. A brief survey of model juvenile courts in the Russian Federation is also made. The distinctive feature of these courts is based on the active use of elements of restorative justice, in particular mediation procedures aimed at concluding a mutually beneficial agreement between the parties (i.e the victim and the juvenile offender). As a result of studying the criminal procedure legislation of some states of America, it was concluded that the provisions regulating the possibility of participation in restorative programs should be adopted and the restorative procedures should be regulated in the Russian criminal process.
