val there is a group. like abogados de cuba en el exilio, something like that, a rotary type group, mi tio abuelo was a member, so let me ask around if any of the members are still around.. these are old guys, some even went to belen with the beard himself and some may have passed on but i will see...

Do you mean Cuban law before 1959? Because there hasn't been any Cuba "law" since.

there must be an NGO outthere somewhere. don't have exact answer but iri (ngo promoting democracy) might have an answer or lead. Alternatively, why don't you try the American Bar Association or the FL Bar.

Cuban law is whatever castro says Cuban law is.

Excellent comment, Jay.

Cuban lawyers--that is, those who graduated from law school in Cuba prior to 1959--have a very important mission ahead of them, and may God give them the strength and endurance to perform it; for no one else can. They must be the law professors, the judges and the magistrates of a future free Cuba. The youngest among them is now 70, but, happily, in the case of the judiciary, they tend to improve with age. I hope that at least a single set of Cuban Statutes has survived. If not, they'll have to rewrite them from memory, too. At least we'll have our exemplary Constitution of 1940--that synthesis of Cuban genius, hopes and republican principles--to guide us.

There may also be pre-1959 lawyers in Cuba who've been working as shoeshine boys for the last 46 years. It's not only musicians that need to be rescued.

Val - if you are talking about pre-'59 law, or even early "robo-lutionary" law, I may have a contact who could help. Let me know specifically what you are trying to find out.
