The “Path Home” movement and the Association of Lawyers of Russia discussed the possibility of cooperation and signing a partnership agreement

During a meeting held on January 29 between the leader of the social movement “Path Home” Anatoly Bublik and the executive director of the Association of Lawyers of Russia Anastasia Milyutina , all the details of possible future cooperation between the two organizations were agreed upon.

The Association of Lawyers of Russia (ALRF) is represented in all regions of the country and carries out active social work in support of many groups of people in need of legal protection. The Association already runs a project for compatriots living abroad, “For the Rights of Compatriots. Russia Is in Touch.” Now such assistance may also be provided to settlers supported by the “Path Home” movement.

ALRF lawyers will provide support to settlers at their request for as long as is necessary to resolve a specific problem in the region where they settle. Requests for such assistance will begin reaching the lawyers as soon as the Cooperation Agreement is signed: Anatoly Bublik’s volunteers will coordinate interaction between settlers and local lawyers.

In addition, ALRF lawyers are joining the work to develop a social standard for providing free legal assistance to compatriot settlers, which will be applied in the future by regional services and agencies. The legal basis for this standard is Federal Law No. 324, “On Free Legal Aid in the Russian Federation,” adopted on November 21, 2011 law.
