Principles of Polish Criminal Procedure

Little is available in English on the procedural aspects of the Polish criminal justice system and the tenets of its criminal process. This authoritative new work addresses this gap. It sets out an analysis of the founding principles, its main phases and of those systemic and structural components which inform it. Taking an applied, practical approach, it surveys the process from beginning to end. Pre-trial, trial, post-trial, questions of evidence and remedies are all clearly addressed. The authors, two acknowledged experts in the field, also explore the role of more general rule of law/standards of law questions that are currently impacting on the law and its interpretation. Comparative criminal lawyers will welcome this important new work.>
