Beschreibung
Marking 25 years since Mattos Filho first began providing pro bono services, the third volume of Human Rights in Evidence reaffirms the firm's commitment to defending human rights and democratizing access to justice. As part of its efforts toward fulfilling the social role of legal practice, Mattos Filho has pioneered the practice of providing exemplary free legal assistance in Brazil. These services are directed both at people in socioeconomically vulnerable situations and non-profit organizations lacking the financial resources to pay for legal services. Mattos Filho also seeks to produce and disseminate technical information, preparing memoranda, legal opinions, and research with Brazilian and international partner organizations. Different areas of the firm contribute multidisciplinary perspectives of law, which is coordinated by the Mattos Filho 100% Pro Bono practice. A compilation of various legal analyses and studies, this book covers six key themes, including freedom of expression and access to information, the rights of immigrants and refugees, ethnic and racial rights, women's rights, criminal justice, and climate change and the environment. For Mattos Filho, making a positive social impact is not just a goal. It is one of the ways it continues to transform legal challenges into opportunities.
