The project Quality Standards regarding the Work of Lawyers in the Pre-trial Phase of Criminal Proceedings presents the basic principles, according to the national law, guaranteeing the quality of the legal aid provided in the pre-trial phase of the criminal proceedings. The text does not contain any new rules of lawyers’ conduct, but only summarizes and systematizes the already established rules. What is introduced is an additional requirement about the content of the forms used to account for and pay the legal aid provided in the pre-trial phase of the criminal proceedings, whereby more personal and contact information can be collected about the client.
