Sodalitium case |
Defense of 5 former members of this Christian association who reported their founder, Luis Fernando Figari, for conspiracy to commit a crime, kidnapping, and severe psychological harm. |
Pro bono work is the kind of work that all lawyers are ready to perform for free, with a component of social commitment and social responsibility. Many of us are fortunate enough to have paid employment. However, there are those who cannot access quality legal defense or even any defense at all. We are all called to fill that gap and give back to our community what we have received.
