Summary/Abstract: Modern democracy is in crisis. Citizens feel alienated, overlooked, unappreciated. The way out of the crisis, in the opinion of many, is by increasing the public role in democratic processes through civil participation. Citizens want to be involved not only in the process of legislation, but also in the application of the law. Today the court is no longer Dworkin’s ”capital of the law”. There are alternatives to judicial resolutions, including restorative justice. Restorative justice is one of the modern forms of implementation of the deliberative democracy’s postulates.
