The article examines the system of preparing an administrative case for trial as a holistic procedural institution. It is argued that preparation is a mandatory stage, rather than an independent stage of the process, and includes four interrelated elements: the actions of the court, the parties to the case, the persons assisting the court, and other persons at the court's request. Systemic problems are identified: the normative incompleteness of Article 132 of the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation, the confusion of the stages of initiating proceedings and preparation, and the lack of recording of sole (camera) preparation. The need to establish an exhaustive list of preparation tasks and introduce a mandatory protocol for in-camera preparation is substantiated to ensure transparency and quality of justice.
