Koshelev, D.A. Specific features of reforming judicial system and criminal law by the national-socialistic government.

Abstract: In this article D.A. Koshelev studies legal reform, which was held by the national-socialists, who came to power in Germany in 1930s. The reform changed the court system and court procedure, criminal and criminal procedural law, legislation on citizenship. As a result of this nazi reform, which also included change of direction of development of legal science, status of judge and lawyer, new sphere of law - racial law was formed and it was intermingled with the law on citizenship and criminal policy, which was clearly punishment-oriented and aimed to set the nazi hegemony. Judicial process gained very subjective character and became just a “bureaucratic formality” which took place before “enemies of the nation” and “unreliable ones” were destroyed.
