The CLEP training programme will organise a short-term day school course for placement organisations from August to September 2022. This is an extension of the Executive Day School Course for Legal Clinics, which will be delivered with Vermont Law School from August to October 2021. The modules are primarily designed to integrate practicum organizations into the revised rule of practice for law students and day schools and to help them design an clerkship program for law students with the school`s law faculties as part of the school`s Clinical Legal Education Program (CLEP). ULC Attorney and Director Johnnil Fatima Acero, a graduate of USLS Law School, gave a brief explanation of the basic legal services that can be provided by certified language service providers and also appointed the first group of supervising lawyers, including Jocelle Batapa Sigue (clinical professor), Leanne Mari Torrato, Hazelmer Fernandez and Bebelan Madera. CLEA is committed to ensuring that clinical legal education is fundamental to the training of lawyers. Supervise your students with important information about cleP and connect with community members who need legal help. CLEP truly learns during service and enhances law students` learning opportunities by giving them the value of legal professional social responsibility and preparing law students to practice law. The revised rule for CLEP comes into force at the beginning of the 2020-2021 academic year. USLS Dean of Law Rosanne Gonzaga says the program emphasizes the shared responsibility of law school lawyers and pro bono attorneys who supervise to help students develop the skills and values necessary for practice-ready and ethical lawyers, translating lessons learned in the classroom into meaningful, life-changing actions in the real world.

As designed, CLEP is an experiential, interactive and reflective teaching course that aims to provide law students with the practical knowledge, skills and values necessary for the application of the law, the provision of legal services and the promotion of social justice and the public interest, especially for the marginalized, and to teach students the values of ethical advocacy and public service. CLEP also ensures access to justice for marginalized and underrepresented sectors through limited practice for law students. The CLEP website aims to feature news, announcements, editorials and reflection articles, literary articles and stories on access to justice, legal assistance and clinical legal education from the wide range of CLEP stakeholders. Law schools, organizations and individuals are invited to share their stories through this website. The LIC is one of five (5) legal clinics at the UP College of Law that offers different pathways for experiential study of law graduates. This is the specific place for articling students who want to prepare for the practice of the law firm when they have become full-fledged lawyers.

The office is headed by a Director who is a regular (full-time) member of the Faculty of Law. Governance in Justice Programme II is launching the Clinical Legal Education Programme (CLEP) funding programme to help Philippine law schools implement their CLEP, which will benefit many law schools in the Philippines facing the challenge of implementing their own CLE programmes. The need for capacity building of law students has been a key focus of education reform to prepare them for practice. With the publication of Rule 138-A.M. No. 19-03-24-SC Law Student Practice, also known as Revised Law Student Practice Rule (Revised Rule), the Clinical Legal Education Program (CLEP) has been institutionalized as a mandatory training for those who wish to join the Bar Association. CLEP provides students with the necessary skills for their subsequent legal practice and socially conscious values for their role in the community. It complements the knowledge acquired during three (3) years of teaching-learning experience at the college. Through the program, students gain a real and practical understanding of legal practice by being “directly and personally” involved in dealing with legal issues and situations. Capture your role as a student in CLEP.
