ACTIVITIES
1.THE LEBANESE PENAL LAW ASSOCIATION
Having an extensive experience and focus on criminal litigation, and fully aware of the major obstacles and problems faced while defending multiple cases due to the lack of development and amendments of many legislations regarding the Penal Law and the Penal Procedures, MADKOUR LAW FIRM has felt the urgent need to have a leading role in the Penal Field while contributing into initiating, encouraging and urging the introduction of new systems and regulations.

On 06/09/2006, a group of young lawyers cooperating in Madkour Law Firm have decided to constitute THE LEBANESE PENAL LAW ASSOCIATION under the supervision of President Michel Madkour, an honorable judge who occupied many positions in various courts, mainly criminal, for 40 years.

Our Team, together with the concerned authorities and organizations, Lebanese and foreign, will be working with enthusiasm to achieve our goals.

While our country is going through a rough time, we lifted the Challenge and we believed in our capacity to make our Legal System a better one and our Justice a more human and effective one.
