In June of this year, the Polish Sejm passed a law amending article 90 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This provision regulates the institution of the so-called social representative (as - amicus curiae) in a Polish criminal trial. Th e amendments adopted are aimed at facilitating participation of the representative in the trial process.
