DeMayo Law Offices, LLP’s Post

“Law is woven into the fabric of attorney Laura Pinilla De Brigard’s family heritage. “Her grandfather, Eliecer, was a criminal attorney and her father, Felipe, is a founding partner of Pinilla, González & Prieto Abogados in Bogotá, Colombia, where his daughter is a criminal attorney like her grandfather. “‘I loved criminal law from the very beginning,’ she says. ‘I think it’s the practice area where you have the most contact with human beings. The fight is over the freedom of a person, not over money.’ “An equally important thread of Pinilla’s heritage is her interest in understanding human behavior and her passion for social service. Her mother, Natalia, is a psychologist who established the first kindergarten in Colombia based on logotherapy, a concept developed by the psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. It is based on the premise that the primary motivational force for individuals is to find meaning in life. “‘Psychology was an important issue in our house because we talked a lot about therapy and working to be a good person,’ says Pinilla. “For Pinilla, a deep understanding of her clients and their needs is as essential to succeeding as is knowing the law.” Read more about Laura Pinilla De Brigard of Pinilla, González & Prieto Abogados in her attorney spotlight article “Colombian attorney makes her ‘place’ in the criminal law field” here: #Primerus #WorldsFinestLawFirms #Weekly

I would like to share my newest contribution to the UCL Access to Justice and Pro Bono Blog, which is led by students from that University. In this text, I present a brief view of legal clinics in public law schools in my country, Brazil, explaining how they contribute to access to justice. Also, I mention exceptional examples such as Cravinas, the project I have proudly joined this year. I thank the editor Ci Hang for the opportunity of having it published as a foreign contributor. https://lnkd.in/dtADXBnr #legalclinics #accesstojustice #probono
