IT Law Society-sponsored Lager Night Held
by Peter Joseph L. Fauni

On 5 February 2005, the IT Law Society sponsored the schoolwide Lager Night. It serves as an opportunity to foster closer relationship between law students and law professors, and is a welcome breather to law students in light of the rigors of law studies.

The February 2005 Lager Night provided an opportunity to make the Society visible to the studentry, and to show a wholly different side to its normal serious self. The event also served as an avenue to announce the creation of the Bar Operations Commission for the 2005 Bar Exams in September, by the Continuing Legal Education and Research (CLEAR) office, and solicit involvement from students subsequent thereto. The event was marked by spirited discussions between students from various batches, on academic topics or otherwise, casual conversations between faculty members and students, and for the more courageous ones, attempts to exhibit their singing prowess using the videoke machine. It was held at the College garden fronting Donada street.

The Lager Night is a project initiated by the Dean’s Office, with the Office of the College Secretary having an active participation in its conceptualization and initial implementation. The project, or event, was first implemented during the start of the school year 2004-2005, and it is sponsored by a different school-accredited student organization every month. It is the first time that the event was held on a Saturday to benefit Executive students, or students who are enrolled in the weekend study program. The event has been held previously during the last Friday of each month, benefiting regular or weekday students. The Lager Night, starting school year 2005-2006, will be held alternately on a Friday in one month and on a Saturday in the next month.

The Society would like to extend its gratitude to the School Administration under Dean Mariano Magsalin Jr. for providing this opportunity for student-faculty interaction; Mr. Florentino Cayco III for his generosity; the various staff members of the Dean’s Office, the IT Center, and Maintenance Department in facilitating the Society’s requests, whether pertaining to paperwork, audio-visual equipment, or venue maintenance.
