The submitted proposals concerning improvement of the norms of
the criminal procedure law. The principle of admissibility of intervention in human rights and the application of coercive measures in establishing the objective truths only in case of extreme urgency has become a basic principle of the criminal process. According to the applicable law of Ukraine “on advocacy and its activities” (p. 7 article 20) advocate in their activities has the right to “remove things, documents, copy them”. That is, it can only go about getting published, and not about “deleting”, without the consent of the holder of the document or thing. “Extract” is commonly understood as forced extraction, and side protection, by definition, its function may not to have establishing the authority.
Finally, to protect enough of getting copies of documents, not delete documents, especially the absence of a duty to Act laid them in the proper way to store and share the Court. At first glance, insignificant legislative inaccuracy may only have character problem definitions, but in reality these “trivia” smear Vaseline give opportunity not so much for a parallel

Defendant and defendant in court should carry only a lawyer who offered to appoint judicial agent. 3. Legal assistance to victims, civil plaintiffs, civil and for third parties (art. 63 of the CPC of Ukraine) can make as lawyers and other specialists in the field of law, which can act in the procedural status of the representatives of the respective parties. 4. Legal assistance to witnesses, applicants to other participants of the process
can make as lawyers and other professionals in the field of law. Implementation of the constitutional principles of legal assistance and protection in criminal proceedings requires a clear definition of the procedural status of the Defender, therepresentative and law agent, development and adoption of the law on the independent Institute the investigation, which has become an independent institution of the criminal procedural law.
