Juozas Žilys, the first Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania and the former dean of the Law Faculty of Mykolas Romeris University, as the area of criminal procedure has so far included only several publications, the direct objective of which was to study issues on the constitutionalisation of criminal procedure.
Viena straipsnio dalis skiriama konstitucinės jurisprudencijos ir baudžiamojo proceso doktrinos santykiui.
