The so-called “mobile justice system” gave residents an opportunity to not only learn more about the law and their rights, but voice complaints to legal officials and receive advice on such matters as compensation from criminal cases and distribution of flyers. Books on drug rehabilitation, property purchasing, bankruptcy and more were also available.

Speakers shared stories of citizens not receiving justice to be used as a lesson to not repeat the same actions and to remind the participants that the justice system does exist, facts can be inspected and proven, to give citizens the justice system they deserve.
