Na thoni një çështje të rëndësishme të profilit të lartë që Z. Klodian Skënderaj në profesionin e avokatit ka mbrojtur. Pesë avokatë penalistë të kishim patur deri në vitin 2015: Ata ose do 'bënin' shtet, ose pushtetar të lidhur me krimin dhe korrupsionin do ti kishin hequr qafe. Avokatura e shtetit dhe shefat e avokative, kanë kontribuar në rënien e sistemit të drejtësisë. Apo nuk ka rënë? Ja të shofim se çfarë ndryshime do sjell Z.Skënderaj. Më mirë të thartat në fillim zotërinj të Pamfletit.
