On June 17, 2011, the University of Mindanao College of Law will be having its Orientation Night.
On Orientation Night, law students would gather on the auditorium and there will be speeches from the College Dean, the Librarian, some of the teachers, and they will inspire students and lay down the rules, do's and don'ts in the College of Law, specially to inform the first year students, and remind the upper class men.
When I was still in first year, I attended our Orientation and was really inspired when the honor students were called and awarded with medals. On three consecutive years that followed, I was among the be-medalled students who graced the stage on Orientation nights. =)
The new lawyers are also invited to the event. So, expect me to be there. =)

Free online consultation
Are you worried about the cost of consultation fees? Cecere Santana, PA might be the answer to your problem. You can ask your personal Miami Attorney if you have a case by simply sending them some information through their website. By simply supplying your name, telephone number, email address, and a brief description of your case, you can expect a free reply from the lawyers of Cecere Santana, PA based in Miami.
If you are also looking for a Miami Personal Injury Attorney or a Miami Property Litigation Attorney, just visit their website at helpfortheinjured.com and have a sneak view of what they can offer.
From Miami litigations, let's go back to this part of the globe. The IBP Davao City Chapter will be having a party tonight and all lawyers in this chapter are invited. Part of the program will be the induction of new lawyers and this will also serve as the victory party for our delegates on the cultural dance contest held last April during the national convention in Subic.

Information about the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) and the application for notarial commission shall also be tackled during the orientation.

Land Registration Authority Online Tracking System
If you're asking why the Entry and Other Fees of the Registry of Deeds have gone up, it is because they are now fully computerized.
The Land Registration Authority has launched its new website equipped with an Online Tracking System. There is also a list of the IT Service Fees available in their website while the LRA Fees page is still under construction.
This is a very good move for the Land Registration Authority. Aside from the transparency of their fees, we can monitor our transactions with our local RDs without ever leaving our offices and homes. Before, the Registry of Deeds in Davao City would always be jam-packed with people who follow up their transactions. Now, you can simply log in and key in some information and you will get the status of your RD transactions.
The Registry of Deeds of Davao City has a new building and better system. I can see our taxes moving.

Top 10
No, I'm not talking about the top 10 passers of the 2010 Bar Examination. We all know that the place was flooded with barristers from Ateneo. I'm talking about Law School Funk ranking top 10 in the Legal category of Topblogs.com.ph
Here's the proof:
That's already an achievement for me and this blog. Only time will tell if this blog would continue being in top 10. But for now, I'm thankful for my followers and readers.
Thank you very much for patronizing this blog. (--,)

Oath Taking Ceremony
April 14, 2011, Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Plenary Hall, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City.
The 2011 Bar Exam passers gathered as early as 8:00 A. M. for the registration. Security was really tight. The same security procedures during the bar examinations. No electronic gadgets were allowed inside and you have to leave your cellphones and cameras outside with the security personnel. And there is another set of security procedures at the main entrance of the plenary hall.
Everybody is required to wear a toga during the oath taking ceremony. Wait, wear a toga all through out the ceremony. Had I known, I shouldn't have stressed myself looking for the perfect oath taking outfit. Hahaha! As a cautionary measure, however, women should NOT wear a long gown. It would definitely look like a disaster under the toga. Minus the toga, however, the long gown would be perfect. But you'll be wearing a toga, so don't wear a long gown. Also, you'll be walking on the rough concrete from the PICC main entrance to the Plenary Hall. You don't want to mess your gown, right?
The oath taking ceremony is a special en banc session of the Supreme Court. It was my first (and maybe my last and only) time to see all of the justices of the Supreme Court. It started on time and I was thankful for that. Everything went smooth, proper and in order.
There was just this one minor inconsistency that I noticed: the Lawyer's Oath that I have memorized has been revised. Below is the exact copy of the Lawyer's Oath as inscribed at the back of our programme:
I, ______________________ of ___________, do solemnly swear that I will maintain allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines; I will support and defend its Constitution and obey the laws as well as the legal orders of the duly constituted authorities therein; I will do no falsehood, nor consent to its commission; I will not wittingly or willingly promote or sue any groundless, false or unlawful suit, nor give aid nor consent to the same; I will not delay any man's cause for money or malice, and will conduct myself as a lawyer according to the best of my knowledge and discretion with all good fidelity as well to the courts as to my clients; and I impose upon myself this obligation voluntarily without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. So help me God.

South Florida Lawyer
BRG Law Firm is a South Florida law firm with a passion for justice. BRG stands for Brill Rinaldi Garcia and this law firm represents clients with various litigation needs including but not limited to wrongful death, medical malpractice, and home health care insurance. BRG Law Firm currently has two offices located in Weston and Miami.
If you are looking for a South Florida attorney who would attend to your wage claims or injury claims, it is best to hire a lawyer who is directly involved with your case from inception to disposal and hands-on in every detail of the litigation.
As a young lawyer, I imagine about having my own law firm. I have been exposed to my father's law office since I graduated from high school. It has been my dream to become a lawyer and tomorrow will be the oath-taking ceremony of the new lawyers. After taking my oath, I shall be a full-pledged attorney.
