 We invite you to read the articles the third issue of the Journal of Brazilian Federal District Public Defensorship (RDPDF), an academic initiative that is consolidated within the scope of this body, and which proposes to re-discuss the great analytical categories that are involved in the legal, sociological, anthropological issues, among others, that mark the performance within the justice system, by public defenders and other actors for the realization of this systemic tangle set for conflict resolution. An explanation is immediately made: the second and third issues of the first volume of the RDPDF complement each other. They also add efforts in the attempt to convey related themes that touch on the critical legal pluralism of “O Direito Achado na Rua” (The Law found on the street). In the presentation of the second issue of the magazine, we had the opportunity to correlate the studies undertaken within the scope of this dialogical humanistic proposal; in this, we will proceed distinctly. The proposal is that the presentation, understood as vocative, but also as a component part and that connects to the work itself, like issues fully integrated. This presentation proposes to articulate and expose the initiative that, in practice and based on emancipatory assumptions and recognition of citizenship, is consolidated with the potential to fully implement some of the vindications of "O Direito Achado na Rua" (The Law found on the street).
