Last July 27, Monday, Liceo de Cagayan University proudly marked a historic milestone with the Inauguration of the Atty. Rodolfo N. Pelaez (ARNP) Legal Clinic, the official legal aid arm of the University.
Named in honor of the University's visionary founder, Atty. Rodolfo N. Pelaez, the Legal Clinic stands as a lasting tribute to his legacy as a lawyer, educator, and community builder whose unwavering commitment to quality education and public service continues to inspire generations of Liceans.
The momentous occasion was graced by University President Dr. Alain Marc P. Golez, Chief Operations Officer Dr. Denise Orong, the University's Vice Presidents, academic and non-academic administrators, Dean Gil G. Bollozos of the College of Law, Atty. Spencer P. P***n, Director of the ARNP Legal Clinic, members of the Liceo Law faculty and staff, volunteer supervising lawyers, and distinguished representatives from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Misamis Oriental Chapter, National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC), and the Xavier University Center of Legal Assistance (XUCLA)โall united in advancing legal education and expanding access to justice.
In his message, Dean Gil G. Bollozos reaffirmed Liceo de Cagayan University's commitment to continuously elevating the quality of legal education by establishing the ARNP Legal Clinic as a center for experiential learning, where students develop practical lawyering skills while serving the community.
University President Dr. Alain Marc P. Golez, speaking not only as the University's President but also as the proud grandson of Atty. Rodolfo N. Pelaez, shared his deep personal commitment to preserving his grandfather's enduring legacy. He expressed his full support for the Legal Clinic and its mission of providing meaningful legal assistance to those who need it most.
Meanwhile, Atty. Spencer P. P***n, Director of the ARNP Legal Clinic, formally launched the LICEO LEAP (Liceo Legal Education and Access to Justice Program)โthe Clinic's flagship community outreach initiative. Through this program, qualified beneficiaries will have access to free legal consultations, legal document preparation, notarization of personal documents, and limited case handling, all delivered through the collaborative efforts of volunteer lawyers, law student practitioners, and the College of Law.
With its official opening, the Atty. Rodolfo N. Pelaez Legal Clinic now opens its doors to the public, providing FREE legal services from Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, reaffirming Liceo de Cagayan University's enduring mission of transforming legal education into meaningful public service and making justice more accessible to every member of the community.
This is more than the inauguration of a legal clinicโit is the beginning of a lasting commitment to uphold the rule of law, empower future lawyers through clinical legal education, and extend compassionate legal assistance to those who need it most.
