The right of deffencee is one of the most important fundamental rights of a person against whom the criminal proceedings is brought. The role of defence counsel in preliminary procedure is essential. He has to be an advocate only and a member of Bar Association, consequently a person with a juristic education and qualified to this job. Defence counsel must defend a laws of accused by all the tolerable ways and work on his behalf. In my work I direct my attention towards the legal status of counsel under current Czech legal regulation, issues of the compulsory defence, legal position of chosen and court-appointed counsel, designation of the counsel by the Bar Association, rights and duties of counsel. Also I direct my attention towards preliminary procedure and on various aspects of defender's participation in preliminary procedure and his tasks in it.

The principle of subsidiarity of criminal law
Holečková, Petra ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vanduchová, Marie (referee)
Summary: Counsel in the Criminal Proceedings The objective of my thesis is to describe the position of a defense counsel during a criminal procedure and analyze the currently valid law governing the counsel's position in the criminal proceedings, and how is law applied in real life and also describe duties and obligations of defense counsel. I choose this topic, because during studies of criminal law I was intrigued by the complexity of criminal trial a by the role of the defense counsel in it. I wanted to gain deeper knowledge of rights and obligations of the defense counsel and research limits of criminal defense. Fair trial is considered as one of the fundamental basics of democratic state. The objective of criminal trial is to reach a proper and rightful verdict as a result of fair trial. Criminal trial could be considered fair only if both sides, the defendant and the prosecutor, are both provided with equal rights. Defendant is often a person without thorough legal knowledge and thus is considered to be in disadvantaged position. As opposed to prosecutor, defendant finds himself in new, unknown position, and his basic rights and his future life are endangered. To remedy this situation, defendant can be in criminal proceedings represented by defense counsel, who is professional, has experience and...

Blaškovanová, Veronika ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
This rigorous theme focuses on the position of defence counsel in the preliminary proceeding because the participation of the defence counsel on the criminal procedure is a contemporary topic, both from the theoretical and practical point of view. The theme of this thesis describes the development and strenghtening of the position of the defence counsel from the historical perspective as well as based on the evolution of jurisprudence. The core of the presentation theme is to define the position of the defence counsel as well as his / her rights and obligations in the preliminary proceeding. The defence counsel has guaranteed "defending" rights for all phases of the criminal proceeding due to the fact that the accused person has the right to be defended. This theme brings added value (especially from the perspective of its potencial use) to everyone due to the fact that the role of the defence counsel and his presence already in the pre-judical phase of the criminal proceeding is of vital importance not only for the proper enforcement of the right to be defended granted to the accused but also for the other phases of the criminal proceeding. Preliminary proceeding serves to verify the initial information concerning the commiting of crime and the reliability of such information, to detect a person...

The right of defense in the Czech criminal proceedings The right for a defence is a right of the defendant guaranteed by the Constitution and by its means represents one of the conditions for a fair-minded trial. The fair-minded decision can be achieved when the defendant is guaranteed a proper application of the right of defence over the whole trial.

Dvořáčková, Eva ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The right to have the assistance of defense attorney and to consult with him the way of defense is a part of the right of defense - a basic right in democratic countries, which is expressed in article 40 of Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms and also in various international treaties. The function of defense attorney in the criminal proceedings is irreplaceable. He provides legal aid though all stages of criminal procedure, but I concentrate on his role in preliminary procedure. The defense attorney defends his client from the beginning of criminal prosecution, but advocate can render help even before the criminal prosecution starts, during providing explanation. A right of defense attorney to search out evidence, present evidence and put it forward belongs among the means, which a defense attorney can use to defend his client and affect the course of criminal proceeding. Another right of defense attorney is to participate in the investigative act and the right to see the criminal file. Other rights of the defense counsel are listed in §41 of the criminal procedure code. My thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter deals with the right of fair trial and a right of defense. The following chapters describe preliminary procedure and the role of defense attorney in particular forms of...
