Modificările și completările la Legea nr. 180/2008 cu privire la migrația de muncă și Legea nr. 200/2010 privind regimul străinilor în Republica Moldova au intrat în vigoare dn 06 octombrie 2017. Modificările sunt menite să optimizeze procesul de perfectare a actelor în vederea acordării/prelungirii dreptului la muncă și a dreptului de ședere provizorie în scop de muncă a străinilor angajați în Republica Moldova.
Dreptul la muncă servește temei pentru legalizarea șederii provizorii în scop de muncă a străinilor pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova. Acesta se acordă direct de către autoritatea competentă pentru ocuparea forței de muncă, iar dreptul de ședere se acordă de către autoritatea competentă pentru străini, actele fiind depuse doar la ghișeul unic al acesteia.

More than 30 community paralegals have participated today in the first activity of the project “Strengthening the network of community paralegals” – “The opportunity of association of paralegals”. In the course of the event, it was discussed the possibility of creating an association of community paralegals, the organizational methods of a non-governmental organization, its principles of operation, as well as the modalities for accessing resources provided by donors.
The existence of a Professional Association will enhance the capacities of advocacy of the paralegals’ network, indispensable for the development of the paralegals’ institution, and its affirmation as a reliable partner of the National Council for State Guaranteed Legal Assistance (NCSGLA). At the same time, will offer more visibility to the positive impact generated by the free services provided by paralegals within the rural communities.
“Through this project we wish to contribute to the development of the paralegals’ network. To offer assistance needed within the process of association, to help to facilitate communication with public authorities, to stay side by side with you in the courts and to support you in various cases. Together we can identify the best solutions for your beneficiaries”, has underlined the coordinator of the Bar Association of Lawyers “Efrim, Rosca & Associates”, Oleg Efrim.
Representation of Soros-Moldova Foundation, Natalia Camburian, has mentioned that Soros-Moldova Foundation is ready to provide to paralegals the aid needed. “We support you and we will continue to provide you not only financial support, but also the assistance needed for the creation and development of an Association of Paralegals. If there’s anything you need, don’t hesitate to ask.”, has declared Natalia Camburian.
Vladimir Palamarciuc, member of the Board of the Young Lawyers Association, have related to participants about the experiences the members of Association have gone through at its founding, the steps they have taken and how they managed to assert themselves on the advocacy market. “The creation of an association will bring benefits not only to paralegals, but to the entire system as well. Will allow you to develop individual projects as well as projects of professional support to members of the Association”, has reiterated Vladimir Palamarciuc.
Present at the event, Daniela Vidaicu, the national coordinator of programs of the Embassy of Sweden, has encouraged the paralegals to create an association, because in this way they will be able to achieve bigger results. “The creation of the network of paralegals is a success. Now comes another stage of coagulation, a stage in which you should continue doing good things further. We support you and we urge you to continue making useful things for the society. The donors support good and strong initiatives. Together is easier to obtain visible results, alone is much harder.”, said Daniela Vidaicu.
In the event, head of the Division of non-commercial organizations of the Ministry of Justice, Alexandrina Culcitchi, has related to paralegals about the organizational methods of a non-governmental organization, the legislative provisions, acts needed for the creation of an association. Paralegals present at the event expressed their interest towards the possibility of association and means of accessing financial resources.
The project “Strengthening the network of paralegals” is implemented by the Bar Association of Lawyers “Efrim, Rosca & Associates” and is co-financed by the Legal Program of Soros-Moldova Foundation. The project’s goal is to strengthen the network of paralegals through the creation of a National Association of Paralegals from Moldova.
The network of paralegals was created in 2010. During this time, with the help of paralegals, thousands of people have managed to solve their legal problems faced by them, whether it was about inheritance, divorce, social assistance or right to property.
Today, the network includes around 40 community paralegals from different rural areas of the country. Visit the webpage www.parajurist.md for more information about the services of community paralegals.
Soros Foundation-Moldova and Law Firm “Efrim, Rosca and Associates” (ERA) launches the joint project “Strengthening the Network of Community Paralegals”. This project aims to improve the professional skills of paralegals through their association and promoting culture of pro bono services provided by lawyers in cases of strategic litigation identified by paralegals.
Currently, the network of paralegals is facing problems of financial stability and sustainability. State budget resources allocated for the network are insufficient to cover their needs for continuous training in various specific areas of interest for beneficiaries in the community. Also, network members mostly did not know each other and do not have any forum for direct communication that would enable them to identify solutions to concrete cases and issues. The current situation requires them to overcome their problems individually as far as possible, which leads to frequent mistakes.
Therefore, the project “Strengthening the Network of Community Paralegals” will focus on the following:
• developing associative culture and providing technical support to the professional association of paralegals;
• development of professional skills of paralegals in consultation on specific cases (back-up lawyers);
• strategic pro bono litigation on cases taken from para-lawyers;
• promoting pro bono culture and mechanisms in the professional environment of lawyers.
The project “Strengthening the Network of Community Paralegals” intends to strengthen the network of paralegals by creating a National Association of Paralegals in Moldova. Existence of a Professional Association will increase the advocacy capabilities of the network of paralegals, needed for the development of the institution of paralegals and its affirmation as a reliable partner of the National Legal Aid Council of State (CNAJGS). It will also give more visibility to the positive impact generated by the services provided free of charge by paralegals in rural communities.
In this project, ERA will focus on involving paralegals in defending and promoting their corporate interests and will contribute to improving the capabilities of legal empowerment of paralegals on specific areas, promoting pro bono legal assistance as a form of legal services provided by lawyers, decreasing discrimination against various marginalized groups as a result of strategic disputes.
The project duration is 11 months. During this period, trainings for paralegals will be organized on specific areas; necessary assistance will be provided in the process of association; communication will be facilitated with public authorities; will be ensured representation in court of beneficiaries of paralegals. Likewise, the regulatory framework and the relevant judicial practice will be analyzed and public policy proposals will be developed etc.
Moreover, ERA shall through strategic litigation attract more supporters for cases they will litigate and therefore will influence the relevant / concerned state authorities to take necessary measures to improve the legal and institutional framework or practices existing in addressing certain issues regarding human rights.
However, a mentoring program will be created for paralegals from a group of licensed lawyers. Thus, para-lawyers will be trained on specific topics depending on the needs of particular groups of beneficiaries (eg .: drug users HIV / AIDS, Romani people, commercial sex workers, etc.); newsletters on specific themes will be drawn up; online and in real time interaction will be ensured between paralegals and a group of licensed lawyers.
The network of Paralegals was created in 2010. During this time, thousands of people succeeded with paralegals to resolve legal issues that have faced, whether it was about inheritance, divorce, social support or property rights.
Currently, the network includes around 40 community paralegals in different rural areas of the country. For more information about community paralegal services, you can found on www.parajurist.md.
The project “Strengthening the Network of Community Paralegals” is implemented by the Law Firm “Efrim, Rosca and Associates” and is co-funded by the Law Program of Soros Foundation-Moldova.
