SI PLDP Guest Lecture this afternoon on Conveyancing by Mr. Richard Muaki, the Registrar General of Solomon Islands.

Sunday and those who attended the USPLSA Met Gala Ball are having a well deserved rest after a successful night out and after cheering Fiji on to victory against Georgia.

Congratulations to the Chairperson and to the executives of the USP Law Students Association for your hard work over the past few months in resurrecting the USPLSA, organising the moot completion and finally the Met Gala.

You all deserve an award for the results of the past few months.

With your moot competition, the discipline of law will now have a cadre of mooters that we hope to see increase, every year. We also hope too see the standard and quality of submissions improve.

Thank you for all that you have done.

….it has commenced!

And it is HERE!

See you TONIGHT!

We had a very good turnout at yesterday’s USP OPEN DAY.

The weather held and whilst the other schools had cool displays and entertainment, SoLaSS and the Discipline of Law relied on the advocacy skills of our student volunteers to market our law degree.

It was a successful day for us and we are so very thankful to our student volunteers for setting up our booth on Thursday night, for being with us the whole of Friday and for cleaning up afterwards.

The Discipline of Law Thanks you and we hope you enjoy the USPLSA’s Met Gala Night.

Are you ready yet? We’re 2 sleeps away from the USPLSA Met Gala 2023!

On Law Clinic Duty yesterday was Mr Stephen Maerongo, Ms Shweta Tiwari, Ms Rebecca Shute and Ms Deborah Evans.

Ms Evans said:
“Reflecting on our journey as 300 Level Year 1 & Year 2 Law students being on duty at the Law Clinic has been nothing short of extraordinary! The privilege of working directly with clients, navigating real-world cases, and applying our legal knowledge has been both enlightening and exhilarating. Here's to more experiences that shape us into the legal professionals we aspire to be!!’

LW206 Early birds despite the inclement weather.
Today’s tutorial was on police procedures, arrest and search warrants.

The Discipline of Law wishes to convey its congratulations to the 42 legal practitioners who were admitted as Legal Practitioners of the High Court of Fiji.

The Cause List!

The final of the USP Moot Competition was held in High Court No. 2 before ACJ Temo.

The winners were RESPONSIBLE LAWYERS.

Responsible Lawyers comprising of Ms. Debra Evans, Mr Aiveni Kitione and Mr John Normani(100 level) came out ahead of Swift Action Attorneys.

The USP LAW STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (LAUCALA) which was resurrected a few months ago, organised this competition.

A lot of work went into organising this competition and all the credit goes to the executives of the USPLSA especially Mr. Varunesh Permal, Mr. Zac Simmons and Mr, Noa Tuivunilagi.

The USPLSA had the assistance of a knowledgeable coordinator, Ms. Samanunu Vaniwi. Ms Vaniqi helped the USPLSA all the way from the beginning by agreeing to be their Coirdinator and conducting the Trainning. Thank you Ms. Vaniqi.

Thank you to the executives of the USPLSA for doing your bit to lift the quality of advocacy in our university.
