Program Overview
Criminal procedure law is a branch of law that deals with the states duty to ensure the justice and security of society by prosecuting individuals under suspicion of crime, that is, perpetrators, in criminal cases and, if necessary, by imposing punishment at the end of the trial. Criminal procedure is like the sharp sword of the state. In this field, where the individual is extremely weak and vulnerable, the person who is strong and helps the individual in his defense and does not leave the individual alone against the strong state is the lawyer, the defender in the criminal case.
