The Câmara Legislativa do Distrito Federal (CLDF) held a solemn session on Tuesday, April 4, to honor the 56th anniversary of the Instituto dos Advogados do Distrito Federal (IADF). The event was proposed by district deputy Jaqueline Silva (MDB) and presided over by deputy Thiago Manzoni (PL). IADF president Jaqueline Di Domenico highlighted the institute’s five‑decade history of collective work, while OAB/DF president Paulo Maurício Braz Siqueira praised its contribution to a strong legal profession and democracy.

Founded in 1970, the IADF’s mission is to promote legal science, defend the democratic state, and improve public legislation. A follow‑up celebration is scheduled for 18 August 2026, when the Medalha Pontes de Miranda will be awarded.
