The Transformation of the Institutional System of Appointed Defence Counsels and...
Appointed defence counsels, bill, criminal procedure, effective defence
The on-going drafting of bill on criminal procedure contains significant improvements in certain scopes; however in some cases, the bill preserves the existing regulation. The object of my examination is the transform of defense. The previous regulation was concerned many critics. An ombudsman’s report, dating from 2012, criticized the foundations of the institution of public defender. The on-going drafting of bill responds to the report, almost point by point, and correct the past mistakes. Presumably the bill coming into force, not only pages, but also in practice, creates the effective protection. It was the fundamental objective of the draft.
