A lawyer is hired to act legally in processes in the courts, draft petitions, appeals, and defenses, participate in hearings, conduct oral arguments, and advise clients. A lobbyist with a law degree is hired to arrange meetings with presidents and magistrates, open WhatsApp chats with judges and ministers, offer rides in planes and helicopters, and ensure that their family members in the justice system act formally and informally in favor of their clients. Legal entities should combat, internally and externally, this distortion of the profession and the resulting influence peddling, which helps to corrupt the Republic. (translated)
