Why we Exist
We have observed that within the existing network of legal services available to the homeless and poor, there exist many gaps, and therefore it often happens that unjust laws, or unjust enforcement of the law, goes unchallenged, and that many people that do not have adequate access to professional assistance when facing the legal process – especially in those cases where people are charged with infractions.
