Day of the endangered lawyer

The Day of the Endangered Lawyer, marked on January 24th of each year, is a time to reflect on the plight of lawyers around the world, who risk harassment, persecution and injury as they work to protect the rights of those who need it most.

On January 26, 2016, theLaw Society and Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights (CLAIHR) held a special event honouring our colleagues, and calling for the safe and unobstructed practice of law around the world.
