This work addresses the problem of the interpretation of justice. The analysis of court practice and current legislation of the Russian Federation with regard to the availability of the interpretation of the principle of justice allows us to conclude that there are two ways of establishing this principle: direct and indirect. There are three models of interpretation of the equity principle by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation: the distribution model, the commutative model and the distributive model. The aim of the work was to substantiate the unsuitability of justice as a constitutional and legal category due to the impossibility to define the term "justice" clearly and specifically.
