Abstract
The research paper suggests an extended definition for “forensic veterinarian”, consisting in the fact that this is an independent subject of procedural legal relations and forensic expert activity, with higher veterinary education (educational qualification level of specialist or master), who has undergone professional expert training, is certified and has gained qualification of a forensic veterinarian in the expert speciality 18.1 “Veterinary research”, on a professional basis possesses specific expertise and skills in the field of veterinary medicine, is entrusted to solve tasks of forensic veterinary examination and in accordance with legislation is involved in conduct of research on objects of forensic veterinary examination containing information about circumstances of criminal offense commission by using specific expertise as well as provides the expert conclusion or notifies about the impossibility of its provision. It is argued that special criteria for determining procedural status of a forensic veterinarian specify specifics of his professional activities in the system of forensic expert support of justice which is due to his specific veterinary expertise. Procedural criteria of the forensic veterinarian’s status reveal his role in the course of proceedings, in particular: his belonging to other (replaceable) participants in proceedings and performing auxiliary functions in it; has no personal interest in proceedings; has no material and legal interest in procedure outcome; information about the forensic veterinarian is entered into the State Register of Certified Forensic Experts (although this criterion is not mandatory).
