It is at this stage when the evidence is examined during an adversarial procedure and the issues of the guilt or innocence of a person accused of committing a crime and the assignment of punishment are considered.

Based on Russian practices, the article examines trial waiver systems as a general concept that includes various national practices within individual states. It is characterized by various kinds of preferences exempted by the state for defendants who have pleaded guilty and waived their right to an adversarial trial; the study reviews positive and negative aspects of these practices as well as the minimum requirements they must comply with.
