A Defender in the Making

Alan Cleveland knew from an early age he wanted to practice law. Before he even entered law school at the age of 33, he knew he wanted to pursue justice for people, just like his family, friends, and neighbors. In his mind, people are the heart and soul of the community. They deserve to be treated fairly by the civil justice system and shouldn’t have to stand on an uneven playing field.
The Meaning of Vindex Injuriae
Eventually, he would come across two words that would cement his commitment to helping others and become the foundation on which he would build his firm and reputation. Vindex is Latin for “one who lays claim to a thing.” The word can also mean protector or liberator. Injuriae is a Latin word as well. It is generally used to describe an injustice or injury inflicted upon a person. When combined, they mean “deliverer from injustice” or “liberator of the injured.”
Vindex injuriae is, therefore, a sort of legal avenger. It is someone whose job it is to fight for injured individuals and help them achieve a measure of justice.
