Advocates International, (on the on hand) is the umbrella organization of Christian lawyers, judges, lecturers and law students. It is at moment the largest, oldest and most efficient Legal Aid organization in the world.
Its vision captured in the following line - “A worldwide fellowship of advocates bearing witness of Jesus Christ through the legal professionâ€.
