(in Polish) New model and trends in criminal procedure WP-PR-MON-NMTCP

The course aims to organise students’ knowledge of criminal procedure and develop their ability to critically analyse contemporary changes. It begins with the relationship between substantive criminal law and procedural law, procedural models, participants, principles and safeguards protecting individuals. It then addresses evidence and the impact of technology on criminal proceedings, including electronic evidence, the authenticity of digital materials and applications of artificial intelligence. The course also considers social media, the relationship between privacy and security, and restorative justice. Examples from different legal systems support comparison and reasoned evaluation. Classes combine problem-oriented lectures, discussion and analysis of materials. Specific examples are selected to suit the topics and the needs of the group.

Preliminary Requirements

English language skills sufficient to participate in discussions, read course materials and write an essay. Basic familiarity with law; prior knowledge of the Polish legal system is not required.

Learning outcomes

The course learning outcomes specify PR_U10 – foreign-language proficiency at CEFR level B2+ – in the context of criminal procedure. Upon completion of the course, the student:
LO1 (PR_U10) – understands spoken and written English materials on the basic concepts, models and institutions of criminal proceedings and explains these issues in English using appropriate terminology.
LO2 (PR_U10) – describes in English the main procedural principles and safeguards and selected developments involving digitalisation, electronic evidence and artificial intelligence.
LO3 (PR_U10) – compares selected procedural solutions in English, presents arguments concerning their implications for fair proceedings and individual rights, and justifies a position.
LO4 (PR_U10) – writes a coherent essay in English at CEFR level B2+, using appropriate sources, developing an argument and drawing conclusions.
LO5 (PR_U10) – participates in discussion in English at CEFR level B2+, understands and responds to questions and different viewpoints, and explains and justifies personal views.

Assessment criteria

Graded credit is based on an independently written essay in English. Assessment considers substantive accuracy, analysis, argument, appropriate and responsible use of sources, coherent conclusions and written communication in English at CEFR level B2+. The oral component of PR_U10 is verified through a brief discussion of the essay and answers to questions in English during class. The final grade is derived from the essay; successful verification of oral communication is a condition for passing, without a separate percentage weighting. Detailed requirements are provided in the class section.
