A ‘Baptism of Legal Practice’ at the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office

The Legal Student Practitioners from the UNO-R School of Law, who are participating in the Clinical Legal Education Program (CLEP), recently experienced their "Baptism of Legal Practice."

During this event, they were assigned tasks to draft information documents for several crimes punishable under the Revised Penal Code and Special Laws.

Provincial Prosecutor Hermes Ariño, Prosecutor Jacob Ariño, along with Ms. Nelly Dableo Dioquines and Ms. Claire Gabales assisted the student legal practitioners in analyzing each case, focusing on aspects such as the prescription period, venue, and other necessary requirements for creating accurate information and resolutions for their filings.

They engaged the students by asking questions related to jurisprudence, the elements of each case, and the application of the law during the presentation.

The session was both exciting and educational.
