Summary/Abstract: This article discusses external openness of criminal proceedings from the perspective of legal security. Realization of that openness is manifested in a statutory guarantee of a possibility to record and transmit trial granted to representatives of the mass media. The paper is also an attempt to assess legal amendments contained in Article 357 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 10 June 2016 in terms of realization of the legal security idea. The author positively evaluates the direction of changes in Polish law, however she also tries to identify legislation that could undermine legal certainty, thereby negatively affecting the possibility of realization of the legal security concept in the context of criminal law.
