"A Short Course of Lectures in Criminal Procedure Law". This book is the first comprehensive presentation of the basics of criminal procedure law in Bulgaria, which is designed to fill a gap in the teaching of law in universities. It is recommended primarily for law students, who can use it as a basis for mastering the main institutes and the procedural steps in criminal law. Some parts of the book present various opinions and theoretical controversies about the nature and the specific features of certain institutes of criminal procedure, and offer comments related to their historical and comparative analysis. Relevant Bulgarian court practice is highlighted as well, with a focus on interpretative judgments, which makes the book useful to law practitioners as well.
