Preliminary courts as a judicial link between pretrial criminal investigations and the trial on the merits : is there a need for a judicial control of the decision to prosecute before a case can reach the trial court. 01/10/2004 - 30/09/2006

Abstract

Preliminary courts are used to verify whether there is a prima facie case against the defendant and also, in some states, to exclude illegally obtained evidence. This research project examines the advantages and disadvantages of pretrial courts: is a intermatiate procedure of the kind described an essential guarantee for the accused and for an efficient procedure, or is it, on the contrary, a time-consuming process that only prolonges the proceeding without improving the quality of the trial?
