The purpose of this study is to analyze certain major reforms in the Code in an effort to determine whether or not the "status quo" has been change. These reforms are: (1) henceforth all military legal proceedings are to be governed by a single Code equally applicable to all the services; (2) all military judicial proceedings are to be governed as near as practicable by the rules of civil procedure and evidence observed in the criminal proceedings of the United States district courts; (3) all persons charged with an offense are to have competent legal counsel at all stages of pretrial and trial proceedings; (4) all persons subject to the Code are assured that they shall not be subject to compulsory self-incrimination; (5) all who are subject to the Code are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and (6) all are guaranteed an automatic and mandatory review (under certain conditions) of their trials.

The focus of this thesis is to analyse the most questionable and presently very discussed points at isme of the arbitration in the Czech Republic. The subject of this thesis is rather extensive, therefore not all aspects of the arbitral proceedings can be concerned. There has been a substantial advancement in arbitration, since Act No. 216/1994 Coll., On Arbitral Proceedings and On Execution of Arbitral Awards took effect. In this thesis I focused on the czech legal framework of arbitration, its imperfections and influence of judicature of the European Court of Justice on the interpretation of the czech law. Pursuant to the questionable facts mentioned above, and under the influence of the judicature of the European Court of Justice and czech court's judicature, the Arbitration Act should be amend. There should be changes especially at the articles concerning arbitrator, arbitration at consumer disputes, and the arbitration contract requirements. The arbitration is means of final and binding dispute rosolution which provides a suitable alternative for the judicial trial, especially at commercial disputes between undertakers - professionals.

The right to have the assistance of defense attorney and to consult with him the way of defense is a part of the right of defense - a basic right in democratic countries, which is expressed in article 40 of Charter of Fundamental Rights and Basic Freedoms and also in various international treaties. The function of defense attorney in the criminal proceedings is irreplaceable. He provides legal aid though all stages of criminal procedure, but I concentrate on his role in preliminary procedure. The defense attorney defends his client from the beginning of criminal prosecution, but advocate can render help even before the criminal prosecution starts, during providing explanation. A right of defense attorney to search out evidence, present evidence and put it forward belongs among the means, which a defense attorney can use to defend his client and affect the course of criminal proceeding. Another right of defense attorney is to participate in the investigative act and the right to see the criminal file. Other rights of the defense counsel are listed in §41 of the criminal procedure code. My thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter deals with the right of fair trial and a right of defense. The following chapters describe preliminary procedure and the role of defense attorney in particular forms of...

12. Abstract Costs of civil proceedings with concentration in petty cases This diploma thesis focuses on costs of civil trial proceedings. Although costs of proceedings are often perceived as a secondary topic, their reimbursement may commonly represent a very problematic issue for a party to a case. Costs of proceedings are incurred by both parties to a case or involved parties and the state. The thesis describes different principles that are applied to decision-making about reimbursement of the costs of proceedings with regard to their origin and the type of proceedings. After a general introduction to the costs of proceedings issues I pay attention to different types of costs of proceedings. In the second chapter I deal in more detail with the representation fee, which is usually the largest expense of the party to the case. Further I explain the terms of payment and reimbursement of the costs of proceedings. I also study an institute of moderation law that enables the court in certain conditions to disallow the reimbursement of the costs fully or partially. The core of my thesis is the reimbursement of the costs in petty cases. The whole chapter is devoted to the term of petty case because of controversial issues of one instance appeal and the limits of boundaries that set petty cases. Minor cases which...
