Human Rights Defender and Prohibition of Raising Clients by The Lawyer

Father Mulewu Clément does not tire of calling attention to the qualities that must enamel the lawyer’s personality. And, as it could not be otherwise, he does so by not confining himself only to the very sensitive relationship between the client and his lawyer, allowing himself to present the causidico - the man of causes - as a true slave of Justice. 

In the City of Men, however, we can only aspire to Justice, this being the very relevant role of the Lawyer. He is a servant of Justice - much more than his client - and in his defense of his constituents, he must be concerned with the proper, balanced and straight treatment of the interests placed in his care. Defending customers cannot be pretending that they have more than what belongs to them. It is, rather, to ensure that the law is respected, that no mischief is committed. Basically, in a Thomistic perspective, it is to guarantee that each one is given what is his own.
