“Tomorrow’s Lawyer” Program Starts Cooperation with Zhyttyelyub Charity Fund
The “Tomorrow’s Lawyer” program starts cooperation with Zhyttyelyub Charity Fund – a series of lectures for the elderly, which will help them navigate the legal field and know how to protect their rights.
Participants of the Program will, on their own initiative and on the organizational support of the Program, give lectures and, if necessary, provide targeted aid to the elderly people united by the Zhyttyelyub Charity Fund.
In particular, the first lecture will familiarize them with the system of free legal aid and describe how it could be used to protect their rights and freedoms. Later, a series of lectures will be devoted to the analysis of the rights and opportunities for their protection – in the area of social and pension benefits, property relations, inheritance, enforcement of court decisions, etc.
