Summary/Abstract: The concept of the waiver of the right to the mandatory legal defense represents a relative novelty in the Czech law, one that re-evaluates selected grounds for mandatory legal defense in relation to a cost-cutting effort by the legislature. On the inverse side of this effort stands the possibility of a significant deterioration of the position of defendants compared to the current rules, as those affected frequently fail to realize that they do not have the same rights as their counsel.
