The Rzeczpospolita Daily Magazine has published another article in the Lawyers’ Panel series. Outstanding representatives of legal science and practice have taken the floor, including Dr. hab. Krzysztof Koźmiński, Prof. UW and Managing Partner of the Jabłoński Koźmiński & Partners Law Firm.

The discussion focuses on the controversial Article 87 § 3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which allows the prosecutor to refuse to allow an attorney to question a witness.

The voices of experts – including our Managing Partner – indicate the need to make procedural guarantees more realistic and to consolidate the right to representation as a fundamental standard of a democratic state of law.

Prof. Koźmiński emphasizes that the proposed amendment will strengthen the legal protection of persons who are not parties to the proceedings and streamline their conduct, making them more transparent and resistant to allegations of violating due process of law standards.
