Volunteer Activity Description

Start Date: Jan 2, 2012 10:00 PM
End Date: Jan 9, 2012 10:00 PM


Law Brigades provides pro-bono legal services to remote communities to foster economic development through small businesses in the communities. Additionally, they work to incorporate unregistered communities to empower them with rights and government benefits that they would not have received otherwise.

Volunteers work side-by-side with Panamanian lawyers to assess community legal needs, develop solutions, and file the appropriate documents with the government. Law Brigades primarily works with remote indigenous communities that are under resourced and largely unaware of their legal rights. Projects are identified by the Law Brigades field offices and matched to clubs around the world. Between brigades the field office works to secure legal outcomes and provide follow-up to the community.
