【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2009年6月1日多明尼加共和國聖多明哥訊】 ─ 五月二十五日，多明尼加共和國專門培訓未來律師的國立法律學校(ENJ)，與慈幼網絡組織的「與鮑思高一起的男女青少年」，簽訂協議，共同為最窮苦的兒童拓展社會服務計劃。
高等法院主席Jorge A.
Subero Isa博士表明：「假如你不認識多明尼加社會的實況，你不能妥善地實踐公義。因此對於這項協議的簽訂，我深表高興。我們願意透過協議，讓我們的律師、法官和辯護人，與社會更緊密聯繫。」
協議旨在向社會發出倡議，促進在司法界中推廣人的價值。協議亦建議在法律課程的必修科中，加入社工課程，以及按排實習，使那些渴望成為和平守護者的人，能明認他們在社會中的角色，這是他們受感召為律師當作的。
「與鮑思高一起的男女青少年」負責人Juan Linares神父表示：「我一直認為，司法界有責任，實踐為人民爭取最大公義的使命。在公義世界中教育人民，能有效減少罪行，並有助發展公義的德行。」
協議為有志投身司法界者，在不同的活動如演講會、研討會、工作坊及其他培育活動中，提供相互支持，有助他們為男女青少年的發展，作出貢獻。兩所機構亦安排活動，使教師能交換教學經驗、教材及其他有用的資料。
Promoting justice for children most in need
(ANS – Dominican Republic – Santo Domingo, 1 Jun 2009) – On 25 May, the National School of Law (ENJ) in the Dominican Republic, where future lawyers are trained, and the Salesian net-work organisation “Muchachas y Muchachos with Don Bosco” signed an agreement to cooperate in developing social projects for the poorest children.
“You cannot administer justice properly if you don’t know what Dominican society is really like. So I am very happy about the agreement that has been signed. Through it we want to bring our lawyers and judges and advocates closer to the community,” declared Dr Jorge A. Subero Isa, President of the Supreme Court.
The agreement is aimed at developing social initiatives which foster human values among members of the Judiciary. It is intended to include social work among the compulsory subjects on the curriculum of those who aspire to becoming Justices of the Peace, and also a period of practical experience so as to recognise the social role to which they are being called.
“I have always thought that the Justice Ministry ought to have the mission to be the greatest promoter of justice for the people. Educating people in justice would achieve a better prevention of crimes and a development of justice as virtue,” said Fr Juan Linares, Director of “Muchachas y Muchachos with Don Bosco”.
The agreement provides for mutual support in various activities such as conferences, seminars, workshops and other events regarding holistic formation for those engaged in the legal field which can contribute to the development of boys and girls and young people. The two institutions have also arranged to exchange educational experiences for teachers, teaching materials and other issues of shared interest.
