Blog topic #9 Judicial process

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are familiar with the judicial process and the importance of it. In order for great social changes to occur, there must be legal changes done. They help make changes by using the judicial process. They have recourse  to the judicial processes as a way of resolving problems, for example sister Dorothy Stang used records to show that the people had rights to the land that they were living on. She helped fight against the big logging companies who exploited the resources of the region and destroyed the homes of many people who were located in villages within the Amazon. The sisters work hard to help those in need in any way that they possibly can. I have seen that in order to help them, they educate themselves in the issues of the region and on the process they need to help better the situation. By educating and familiarizing themselves with the judicial process and other method of helping, they can then show the people how to further help themselves in the future if they are ever faced with more issues.
