USLS Juris Doctor Conferment held at Provincial Capitol

THE University of St. La Salle College of Law conferred several law graduates into Juris Doctor during the rites held at the Social Hall of the Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol.

Governor Eugenio Jose “Bong” Lacson graced the occasion along with Honorable Justice Edgardo Delos Santos, Atty. Raymundo Pandan Jr., former dean of the USLS College of Law, and Atty. Alexander Mirano.

They presented the Juris Doctor diplomas to the graduates of batch 1999 led by Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz.

Also present at the recognition and thanksgiving program were Provincial Legal Officer Alberto Nellas Jr., Executive Assistant to the Governor Charina Magallanes-Tan, and Provincial Tourism Officer Cheryl Decena, among others.

Governor Lacson lauded the members of the Provincial Government of Negros Occidental and USLS Law Class of 1999 headed by Provincial Administrator Diaz and Bacolod City Administrator Pacifico “Boyet” Maghari on their Juris Doctor conferment.

Lacson said he hopes that the development and change in the academic degree title of those conferred will give them fresh inspiration and motivation to use their knowledge to serve the people, the country, and God, to the best of their abilities.

“To all the non-lawyers who will have ‘JD’ after their names today, it is my hope that sooner, you will have ‘Atty’ attached before it,” said Governor Lacson said.
