The project "Street Lawyer" was born in Bologna at the end of 2000, with the basic objective of protecting the rights of homeless people through a contribution to legal expertise.
The project would fill a gap: in Italy the opportunity to obtain legal aid or a lawyer working for free and is paid by the state, is recognized to all persons who have an annual income not exceeding € 10,628.16. To get it you need to go to court and make a request by sending their identity papers and documentation on their legal problems.
who lives on the street is often not always able to produce proper documentation, and often avoid contact with the Tribunal, where possible. For those who live in Italy in this way ends up doing not benefit from legal aid and here is where the association's lawyer road today Italy in collaboration with the project more than 650 lawyers Attorney Street, between volunteers and professionals of the doors already open that are willing to work free of charge for non domiciles in the city where a door is still open.
