Colegio Abogados Lugo -

Perhaps the most critical social function of ICAL is the administration of the Turno de Oficio . In Spain, justice is a constitutional right. Those who cannot afford legal representation are entitled to it free of charge. ICAL manages the rotation of lawyers to ensure 24-hour coverage for detainees (Guardias) and representation in civil, criminal, and administrative courts. This system relies on the voluntary participation of members who are compensated by the state, though often criticized for low fees, the Bar acts as the shield ensuring access to justice for the vulnerable in Lugo.
