Many immigrants have a soft spot in their hearts for their home countries. Joseph Moniz, a semiretired trial lawyer, has taken that even further.
Moniz has been working on legal reform in Cape Verde for 20 years, including a trip planned for next month in which Moniz, former Connecticut Supreme Court Justice Lubbie Harper Jr. and others will demonstrate plea bargaining. Moniz, from the Hartford area, is a second-generation American after his parents immigrated from the island archipelago nation off the coast of western Africa.
