While staying in an honorable exile, M. M. Speranskiy continued to attend to important state issues. Large-scale transformation of management and court system in Siberia crowned his efforts as a general Governor of Siberia. Article is devoted to opportunities of the reformed judicial organization of the western part of the region which became effective to administer justice. The author draws attention to the human and material resources of justice, as well as the ability to improve the quality of the administration of justice. The famous reformer failed to create efficient judicial mechanisms, he failed to see the specific features of the region and thus could not come to the right decisions. Audits did not improve the legal proceedings, the administrative authority was unable to influence the Justice processes, the financial position of the courts was poor, the region was not attractive for the legal profession. Hardships of the Siberian life and service did not attract judicial workers of the European part of Russia. Poverty, long cases, the lack of qualified employees, judges abuse — all these characterized the state of the judicial system in Western Siberia at that time.
