Mr Wojciech Cieślak, Ph.D., co-editing the practical commentary on the Code of Criminal Procedure

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Recently, under the imprint of the publishing house Delfin the publication “The Code of Crimnal Procedure. Practical commentary to amendments” appeared being edited by Mr Wojciech Cieślak, Mr Kazimierz J. Pawelec and Mr Igor Tuleja.

It is a joint commentary on the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure focusing on practical aspects of individual regulations of the Code.

The publication is of essential importance in the context of a thorough reform of criminal procedure which became effective as of 1st July 2015 because the application of the new provisions of the CCP still raises numerous doubts of practical nature both among prosecutors, police officers and the aggrieved, accused, their attorneys and defence counsels.

One of the authors of the commentary is Mr Wojciech Cieślak, Ph.D., a barrister, professor at the UWM, senior counsel with the Law Office RGW.

KPK komentarz praktyczny

Dr hab. Wojciech Cieślak współredaktorem praktycznego komentarza do KPK

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Nakładem wydawnictwa Difin ukazała się ostatnio publikacja „Kodeks postępowania karnego. Praktyczny komentarz do zmian“ pod redakcją Wojciecha Cieślaka, Kazimierza J. Pawelca oraz Igora Tulei.

Jest to zbiorowy komentarz do przepisów Kodeksu postępowania karnego, skupiający się na praktycznych aspektach poszczególnych regulacji kodeksowych.

Publikacja ma istotne znaczenie w kontekście gruntownej reformy procedury karnej, która weszła w życie 1 lipca 2015 r.

Stosowanie nowych przepisów KPK budzi bowiem jeszcze wiele wątpliwości natury praktycznej zarówno wśród prokuratorów, funkcjonariuszy Policji, jak i pokrzywdzonych, oskarżonych, ich pełnomocników i obrońców.

Jednym z redaktorów komentarza jest Adwokat dr hab. prof. UWM Wojciech Cieślak, senior counsel w Kancelarii RGW.
