Castel Gandolfo: Congress for the legal profession

Oct 20, 2016

“Together in Dialogue: Demands for rights and the law’s response"

The objective of the convention to be held in the Mariapolis Centre at Castel Gandolfo (Rome), is to review the professions or activities of magistrates, lawyers, chancellors, prison staff and law enforcers, and discover the path to be pursued together to achieve justice, involving all the “actors” of the multifaceted relationships involved. On Saturday afternoon, there will be separate sessions according to professions or work fields, developed to help these pathways:  magistrates coordinated by Dr. Gianni Caso, President Emeritus of the Court of Cassation Section; lawyers coordinated by Atty. Orazio Moscatello of the Court of Bari and Dr. Fiorella Verona of the Court of S. Maria Capua Vetere; court personnel coordinated by Concetta Rubino, Chancellor in the Court of Naples; prison staff coordinated by Dr. Sebastiano Zinna, former director of the UEPE in Rome and Dr. Salvatore Nasca, Director of UEPE in Florence; and law enforcers coordinated by Dr. Pasquale De Rosa, former official of the Ministry of Defence. The convention is undergoing accreditation procedures by the Council of the Lawyers’ Roll of Velletri (Rome) for the recognition as a professional development course. Program Enrolment and bookings open up to 15 November 2016: prenotazioni@comunionediritto.org Enrolment form

The “Season of Creation” is an ecumenical Christian initiative that begins every year on 1st September and ends on 4th October, the feast of St. Francis. This year with the theme “Living Water”, Christians around the world are invited not only to contemplate water at the river banks, but to immerse themselves in what it represents: life, relationship, healing, hope and the love of God that flows through all of creation. Here is a testimony from Congo, in Africa.
