KSU Legal Aid Office

Culmination Program/Turn-over Activity [Batch 2023].

The 4th-year College of Law students held a Culmination Program/Turn-over Activity last June 03, 2023 [Saturday] at the Kalinga State University College of Law Building.

The program was conducted to convey to the succeeding batch [3rd years] all the inventoried supplies in the Legal Aid Office. These were accumulated during the course of the undertaking of the Clinical Legal Education Program of the pioneer batch [4th years].

During the program, the 4th-year students shared their personal encounters during the conduct of the Community Legal Outreach and how it impacted their lives.

Subsequently, the 4th-year students then turned the supplies over to the Student Council President Mr. Romeo Layos, accompanied by Ms. Maureen Bading.

Tokens were then given to Dean Wacas, Judge Nympha Abbacan as well as to the lawyers who were present during the Community Legal Outreach.

Overall, the program was a success!

Kudos to the 4th years [Batch 2023] for their patience, sacrifices and dedication in making the CLEP program came to fruition!

Agyaman kami unay to the Dean of the College of Law, to our two (2) supervising lawyers, to our teachers and other IBP members in joining and sharing memories with us on those wonderful journeys of immersing ourselves with the communities!

May the Heavens be ever in our favor.

IT'S NOT THE END, IT'S ONLY JUST THE BEGINNING.

The Kalinga State University College of Law conducted its last community outreach in Barangay Limos, Pinukpuk, Kalinga last May 7, 2023 (Sunday).

Fifteen (15) law student practitioners attended the outreach program accompanied by Judge Marcelino Wacas (ret); Judge Nympha Abbacan; Atty. Wylan Basungit; Atty. Errol Comafay and Atty. Welhelm Wacas.

Barangay officials and community people of Barangays Baay and Limos warmly welcomed the student-participants at the Limos Elementary School.

The topics during the outreach were the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children which was discussed by Ms. Monica Langngag; The Safe Spaces Act or the Bawal Bastos Law lectured by Ms. Catherine Agyao and the Katarungang Pambarangay lectured by Mr. Bruno Galwat.

During the discussion, Judge Nympha Abbacan also emphasized on the need of the barangay to have its own Revised Penal Code for its officials to be acquainted with various cases under its jurisdiction.
