Alleged violations of lawyer prerogatives in Brazil
Overview
Recent reports highlight incidents involving the alleged infringement of professional prerogatives for lawyers in Brazil.
In Paraná, the OAB Paraná unanimously approved public redress for lawyer Emmanuella Magro Denora after a judge disabled her microphone during a remote hearing at the 4th Family Court of Curitiba. The OAB-PR stated the incident, which occurred while Denora was speaking privately with a client, undermines professional prerogatives. The case is being forwarded to judicial and prosecutorial authorities for further action.
In Goiás, lawyer Anabel Pitaluga reported harassment at the Court of Justice of Goiás (TJGO). Pitaluga alleged a security guard instructed her to ‘lower her skirt’ while she was attempting to enter the building for an oral argument. The TJGO has launched an investigation through its Military Cabinet, and the OAB-GO has expressed support for the lawyer, asserting that dress regulations should be managed by the professional and that lawyers must maintain free access to judicial facilities.
