Abstract
After the Polish parliamentary elections, the question of rebuilding the rule of law in Poland has been frequently raised in academic debate. The discourse is largely dominated by the status of the so-called neo-judges and the legal effects of rulings of the politically appropriated Constitutional Tribunal. We would like to highlight another problem that the new government will have to deal with – the functioning of the public prosecutor’s office occupied by people associated with the Law and Justice party (PiS). There is a great risk that high-level prosecutors may effectively block or obstruct investigations into the irregularities committed under the PiS government.
