#RobertWilliams: “Is the #legaleducation of the population a solution for lowering the procedural costs?”

Legal education was the hopeful approach in reducing trials, detention, violence, human trafficking and others.

Now we are witnessing an unbridled avalanche of crimes, trials and a decline in trust in the judiciary and legal practitioners.

The question arises, where did legal education achieve its purpose?

Now what do we know?

Compliance with the law remains optional, the preventive message has reached the young generation, but what do we do with the whole society?

It is very interesting that only the justice system and the legal professions have the capacity to provide legal education activities while the education system cannot afford an absorption of legal education activity under the motivation of the staffing plan, busy hours of students and lack of salary.

The consequences are disastrous. What can be done at the moment?

The underfunding of the legal professions is not a solution, the underfunding of justice shows that the battle is currently lost with crime and the problems of society in general.

There are entire nations without a culture of knowledge of rights and obligations, a dissociation between the sides of society with imactual consequences as seen today with the naked eye: failure, disaster, judges, prosecutors and lawyers practically overcome by the cases before the court.

Legal education is only a support for knowing the state, for making the right choice, for the health of society and its functioning.
