LAWYER FUNCTIONS IN THE ADVERSARIAL PROCESS PERSPECTIVE AT THE PRESENT STAGE OF STATE DEVELOPMENT

Within the study the authors consider it suitable to focus on the implementation of the defense function by a professional lawyer, since it is this participant in criminal procedural relations who bears the main burden in the adversarial process.

In the implementation of the constitutional rights of citizens to protection, a number of regulatory decisions of the Supreme court, amendments and additions to the criminal procedure legislation, a number of by-laws were adopted in this matter, including the Law on advocacy itself, which also covered the concept of legal assistance. Based on these legal sources, taking into account the latest changes in criminal procedure legislation (introduction of articles 210-1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and others) an analysis of the scope of procedural rights granted to a defense lawyer and a representative lawyer was carried out to make sure that the latter's rights are significantly limited compared to the rights of a lawyer providing such assistance to a suspect and an accused, that is, there is an asymmetry in the procedural position of the defender and representative, as well as the witness's lawyer. As a result, the authors made proposals to amend articles 68, 69 and 70 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
