Citizens offered free legal advice
The annual event “Lawyer pro bono day” is taking place today in Sukhbaatar square, aiming to provide legal advice to citizens and support their legal education. This event is being held in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar and in 21 provinces of Mongolia. This year marks the 5th year that this day is being organized across the country.
More than 20 organizations, including the Mongolian Lawyers Association, the Mayor’s office of Ulaanbaatar city, the General Council of the Judiciary, the General Prosecutor’s Office, the Department of Court Decision Enforcement, the National Human Rights Commission, the General Archives Department, and the Chamber of Notaries are participating in this event to give advice to citizens.
Last year, over 3,000 people were provided with free legal advice as part of the event. In 2021, more than 1,000 people received free legal advice, and in 2022, that number increased to over 2,000. This event serves as a valuable opportunity for individuals to access legal assistance and learn more about their rights.
