Actuality is that effective implementation by the judiciary of their functions and powers are possible only under conditions of good judicial administration that is appropriate organization of the judiciary and its management. In modern domestic administrative and legal science practically no properly grounded theoretical principles of judicial administration remain unresolved a number of issues related to improving the management mechanism of the judicial system, the creation of the necessary conditions of organizational justice. In domestic theory and practice of management concerning the definition of the judicial branch traditionally used concepts such as "judicial control", "organizational leadership by the courts", "organizational support of the courts' et al., The contents of which in the writings of scholars defined differently, sometimes getting conflicting values.
The definition of "judicial control" is of practical importance of the role and place of various administrative relationships (Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, judicial self-governing bodies, etc
 Speaking about the nature of judicial administration, modern scientists define it as a form of social control that combines elements of governance and self-governance with a view of specific features and legal nature, derived from the internal needs of the organization and ensure timely consideration of cases by judges who are on addressing these judicial authorities. Therefore, subject to judicial control (administration) is the question of the organization of the judiciary, selection of judges and lay assessors; personnel management judiciary; check the organization of their work, study and generalization of judicial practice, the organization of judicial statistics. Specificity of judicial administration is that it is not spreading to the sphere of justice, should contribute to the implementation of its goals and objectives.
The conclusions are that as head of a court has all the signs of an administrative position, and therefore it needs legislative provisions by amending the Law of Ukraine "On the Judicial System and Status of Judges", p. 3. art. 149 should be supplemented with the following sentence: "The head of a court and his deputy holding administrative positions in the courts." It should be emphasized that despite the expansion of powers of the head of a court, it is not currently enjoys undisputed authority among court staff and, moreover, is not such a person for judges. 
Therefore, legislative strengthening post of head of court-level administrative positions not only specifies the location of the head unit in the structure of the judicial authority, but gives it a certain status and credibility that is essential in the formation of a new administration and a necessary element in court.
