In the Courts
Criminal law has as its primordial focus the defense of constitutional guarantees of all citizens, focusing on the defense of human dignity, defeating arbitrariness and, mainly, any miscarriage of justice. The criminal conviction of innocent people is the biggest drama of Human Justice. .
And this fight has been more intense than ever, because Criminal Law, in Brazil, has significantly expanded in the few last years, permeating all human conflicts. Several matters which, in the past, were limited to civil and administrative fields, now also constitute crimes.
That is why it is affirmed that, currently, anyone, no matter how correct or exonerated they are, some day may need a criminal lawyer, either to defend themselves, or to accuse who has victimized them.
