This work is devoted to the study of the evaluation of electronic evidence in civil proceedings. The main purpose was to study the theoretical and practical problems associated with the evaluation of electronic evidence in civil proceedings of the Russian Federation, and to suggest possible criteria for such evaluation. In order to achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to reveal the concept of electronic evidence, to highlight the types of electronic evidence, to determine the place of electronic evidence as a type of judicial evidence in the Russian procedural law and doctrine, to review the judicial practice as to the most effective approaches to the evaluation of electronic evidence. As a result, the problem of the lack of a unified approach in the evaluation of electronic evidence as a judicial evidence was identified, and possible criteria for the evaluation of this type of evidence were proposed.
