Yesterday the initiative of the Sicilian Lawyers Union in Trapani on alternative measures to penalties

TRAPANI. The training event was held yesterday afternoon, May 24, 2024, starting from 3.00 pm in the bunker room of the Trapani court. The subject was “alternative measures to prison sentences and the replacement measures introduced by the Cartabia reform”.

The conference was born from an initiative carried out by the Association called UAS “Unione Avvocatura Siciliana”, Trapani Section whose President is the lawyer. ta Daniela Blunda member of the COA of Trapani. UAS was founded in 2021 in Palermo and then expanded with the opening of other sections throughout Sicily until it landed with us a few months ago with the new Trapani Section. Today UAS has a total of 6 sections: 1) Palermo; 2) Messina; 3) Catania; 4) Agrigento; 5) Syracuse-Augusta and the new Trapani Section. Work is underway to open sections also in Marsala, Enna and Caltanissetta. UAS is also expanding into other regions, so much so that the name of the Association has recently changed from “Unione Avvocatura Siciliana” to “Unione Avvocatura UAS”, precisely to give national scope to the Association.

To date it has over 400 members. It has councilors of the order in Palermo, Catania and Trapani, as well as members of the CPO in Palermo, Catania and Trapani: in Palermo it also has the Vice-Presidency of the CPO and in Trapani even the Presidency of the CPO.
To date, approximately 40/45 training events have been organized in all sections.
Then it should be added that the various sections have also stipulated agreements with associations that operate in the social world such as Plastic Free and others.
Recently, the “Advocacy and Culture Section” was also established, where in addition to simple training we also want to proceed with the promotion of cultural events such as the presentation of books and more. Events in this sense have been held in Palermo, Catania and also in Syracuse with a guided tour of the museum.

Well, returning to the new Trapani Section, in addition to the President, it also has its own board of directors made up of 2 Vice Presidents, Lawyer Giacoma Castiglione and Lawyer Leonardo Salato, a Secretary Dr. Gaia Cammarata, a Treasurer Lawyer Damiano Ciacio, a Abogado Training Manager Salvatore Palermo and Communications Manager Lawyer Elisa Palmeri. Yesterday’s training event is the first to be organized by the Trapani Section.
