Realization of the Right to Defense at the Stage of Initiation of a Criminal Case against a Judge

 The article is devoted to the implementation of the right to protection of a judge at the stage of initiation of a criminal case.

The purpose of the study is the theoretical and practical justification of the conditions for the realization of the right to protection in relation to judges at the stage of initiation of a criminal case, the identification of problems related to the realization of this right.

To achieve the goals and objectives of the research, general scientific and private scientific methods such as logical, formal legal method, comparative legal, etc. were used. The dialectical approach is used to determine the essence of the studied processes and phenomena, to detect cause-and-effect relationships.

The institute of overcoming the inviolability of judges is investigated: a conclusion is made about its legislative clarity. At the same time, the procedural actions preceding the submission of a submission to the qualification board of judges do not have their theoretical and, as a result, legislative elaboration. As a result of the study, provisions of the criminal procedure law on the procedure for conducting procedural actions that are the basis for initiating a criminal case against a judge were proposed for development.
