The topics include background on civil law and common law legal systems; plea bargaining; witness proofing; written and oral evidence; self-representation and the use of assigned, standby, and amicus counsel; the role of victims; and the right to appeal.International Criminal Procedure will appeal to academics, students, researchers, lawyers and judges working in the field of international criminal law.
