Priručnik za rad državnih odvjetnika – drugo izdanje

The second, revised and supplemented edition of the Handbook for the Work of State Attorneys (2012) serves as a key professional and methodological resource for the daily work of state attorneys and their deputies. The handbook was developed with the aim of standardizing the practice of the State Attorney’s Office, enhancing the quality of its work, and ensuring professional competence, legality, and efficiency in proceedings before judicial bodies. In terms of content, it provides a detailed overview of the entire scope of the State Attorney’s Office’s mandate. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of criminal law, including the conduct of preliminary inquiries and formal investigations, decision-making, and the representation of charges in court. Furthermore, a significant portion is dedicated to civil and administrative matters, the protection of the state’s property interests, public enforcement and non-contentious proceedings, as well as international legal assistance and cooperation. By offering clear guidelines, practical examples, procedural templates, and organizational rules, this edition serves as an invaluable tool for both experienced judicial officials and state attorney trainees and advisors, ensuring the correct and highly professional application of legal norms in practice.
