SC Paralegal Training 2023

On April 28, 2023, the Ateneo Law Student Council conducted a Paralegal Training on the Katarungang Pambarangay Law and the Anti-Violence Against Women And Their Children Act at Barangay Guadalupe Viejo, Makati City. The project is aimed at bridging the gap between the students' knowledge of procedural rules and the practical application of such.

The students conducted a brief lecture on the law and thereafter facilitated a simulated dispute that was resolved by the participants. In turn, the lupon officials and social workers at Barangay Guadalupe Viejo exhibited mastery over the laws and rules governing barangay conciliation proceedings!

We are grateful for the technical support and supervision from the Ateneo Human Rights Center and the participation of the lupon officials and social workers at Barangay Guadalupe Viejo! May this project bring Ateneo law students closer to the communities outside the law school!
