Professor of the Department of Criminal Law of the National Academy of Internal Affairs, Director of the Research Institute of Pre-trial Investigation Problems, Doctor of Law, Professor Olena Babikova gave a lecture on "Forms and methods of interaction between participants in criminal proceedings during the investigation of criminal proceedings of various categories"
«The interaction between law enforcement agencies, the court, the prosecutor's office and the bar is far from idealMy practical experience shows that the judiciary, police officers and prosecutors who provide procedural guidance in criminal proceedings cooperate with each other, which turns the lawyer's attempts to protect his client into a very complex issue," the lecturer said.
At the same time, Olena stressed that, in her opinion, her first practical experience should be gained on the prosecution, trying to absorb the full range of techniques and methods by which evidence is collected, evidence base in criminal proceedings is created, etc.
The speaker provides numerous examples from practice that prove the theses announced by her during her speech. For example, the position of a lawyer in order to achieve the goal of protecting the client, observing his procedural rights should be as active as possible, and in fact, cooperation between the investigation, procedural management, the court is more a dream of justice, rather than an existing reality.
According to the results of the lecture, Olena Babikova wished higher education students to try to make their choice consciously, understanding the degree and degree of responsibility for the decision.
