Legal Regulation of qualified legal aid in criminal procedure law of the Russian Federation
Currently, against the background of ongoing scientific discussions about the participants in legal aid and their status in the framework of the realization of the right to defense, a separate interest is caused by the content of qualified legal assistance and clarification of this concept in general. It should also be taken into account that today the legislation does not explain what is meant by qualified legal assistance and which of the participants in criminal proceedings has the right to provide it. The scientific hypothesis is that the bar as the only source of qualified legal assistance needs normative specification of its position in all branches of the procedural legislation. In this case, qualified legal assistance guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation will receive its official continuation in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation as one of the main elements of ensuring the right to defense to a suspect and accused. In this regard, the article is devoted to the study of the regulatory implementation of the institution of qualified legal assistance in the criminal procedure law of the Russian Federation.
