Lawyers Without Borders Canada is looking for volunteer cooperants from July 2012 in Guatemala and Colombia.
Lawyers Without Borders Canada (LWBC) presented two amicus curiae briefs to the Constitutional Court of Colombia to support claims of unconstitutionality against sections 3 and 44 of Law 1448 of 2012, also known as the Victims Act. Alongside the 2005 Justice and Peace Act, the Victims Act is one of the Government of Colombia`s primary legislative efforts to bring an end to the internal armed conflict in the country. Section 3 of the Victims Act defines who can be considered as a victim for the purpose of the law and section 44 establishes a cap on the fees which can be charged by lawyers acting in proceedings under the act.
Le 22 mars dernier avait lieu la cinquième édition du Vins et fromages d’Avocats sans frontières – Université Laval (ASF-ULaval). L’évènement a connu un franc succès en permettant d’amasser 2 700$ et en réunissant plus de 120 convives à l’Atrium du Pavillon Charles-de-Koninck situé à l’Université Laval.
