Procedure
Criminal procedure
Clarifying the stage of the case, deadlines, procedural rights and the next steps.
Context
When it may help
Illustrative examples only. The concrete assessment depends on documents, facts and the stage of the proceedings.
-
01
It is unclear whether the file is in investigation, preliminary chamber or trial.
-
02
Deadlines, appeals or preventive measures need to be assessed from the documents.
-
03
A procedural reading of the file is needed before a representation mandate.
Approach
How I work
Criminal procedure governs investigation, trial and enforcement. I work from the stage of the file, the deadlines and the procedural rights, not from general labels.
I explain what can be sought, which evidence matters and what risks exist at each stage. No particular outcome is guaranteed.
I review the documents, the stage and the deadlines. I explain the procedural options and, if agreed, the next steps.
