Introduction: the paper deals with the consideration of issues concerning the forms of criminal procedure acts. The author notes the importance of examining both the procedural form in criminal proceedings and its elements – the forms of criminal procedure acts. Thus, the forms of criminal procedure acts are an integral part of the general procedural form of criminal proceedings. It is the procedural form that is a distinctive feature of criminal justice. Based on the conducted research, two main forms inherent in criminal procedure acts are identified. The purpose of the study is to examine and identify the forms of criminal procedure acts and their characteristics. Methods: the paper employed the dialectical method, as well as the methods of generalization, comparison, analysis and description, induction, and deduction. Results: the conducted research substantiates the importance of examining issues related to the criminal procedure form. As a result of the study, two main forms of criminal procedure acts are identified: external (written, documentary) and internal (substantive). Conclusions: the issues discussed in the paper require further in-depth reflection to form a holistic understanding of criminal procedure acts and to enhance the effectiveness of criminal procedure activities.
Key words: criminal procedure act, procedural document, criminal procedure form, criminal proceedings, documentation, forms, templates.
