We should have November breaks mid month, like what we have now. An opportunity for everybody to rest and prep for the heavy year end work. For final exams, bills, and reports.
Or quite simply, as a prep to the longer Christmas break.

Opened a door for so many already. Changed their lives, too. And improved the rule of law and access to justice in the country.
These are the benefits of being a professor. You are able to change the world with law as your tool.
Find one young lawyer this month and open a door for them. Introduce them. Recommend them. Someone did it for you.

Something to be proud of when foreign dignitaries visit our country and appreciate our hospitality.
Great to see our Catholic beliefs bringing us all together.
Eu e Janja vivemos hoje um momento de muita emoção na Catedral Metropolitana de Manila, nas Filipinas. Visitamos a Capela de Nossa Senhora do Pilar, onde rezamos diante da imagem de Nossa Senhora Aparecida, padroeira do Brasil, doada pelo Santuário Nacional de Aparecida à Catedral como presente ao povo filipino.
Foi emocionante ver um símbolo tão querido da fé e da devoção do povo brasileiro atravessar oceanos e ser acolhido com tanto carinho tão longe de nossa terra. A presença de Nossa Senhora Aparecida em Manila é também um símbolo dos laços de amizade, fé e esperança que unem brasileiros e filipinos.
Fomos recebidos pelo monsenhor Rolando dela Cruz, reitor da Catedral de Manila, e pelo monsenhor brasileiro Guilherme Sanches, da Nunciatura Apostólica nas Filipinas. Tivemos também a alegria de compartilhar esse momento com religiosos brasileiros que estão nas Filipinas.
Saímos dessa visita com o coração cheio de gratidão. Que Nossa Senhora Aparecida continue abençoando nossos dois povos, aproximando nossos países e inspirando um futuro de paz, solidariedade e fraternidade.

Is writing a thesis still important at a time when there is excessive focus on bar performance? Hands down, yes. I’ve read the thesis of my advisees and they’re great. The concepts they bring are all too new that even I am learning, too.
If you have a thesis, be proud!

Teach us how to protect our trees and forests, Mr. President!
Mabuhay, Filipinas! 🇧🇷🤝🇵🇭
Estou aqui para cumprir importantes agendas, fortalecer as relações entre nossos países e ampliar as oportunidades de investimentos.
Vou encontrar o presidente filipino Ferdinand Marcos Jr, fazer encontros bilaterais e participar do Fórum Empresarial Brasil-Filipinas e da Cúpula da ASEAN. Vamos discutir comércio, desenvolvimento e parcerias internacionais.
Seguimos trabalhando para aproximar o Brasil de outros países e abrir novos caminhos para nossa economia e nosso povo. 🌎

Golden opportunity for @DENROfficial to consult him how to protect the trees and forests the way he did in Brazil.

How about an employee posting the pics of their employer and announcing to the world they are no longer connected with the company?
PAG-POST NG EMPLEYADONG NAG-RESIGN, LABAG BA SA BATAS?
May paalala ang National Privacy Commission sa mga negosyo at kompanya tungkol sa pag-post sa social media ng impormasyon tungkol sa mga empleyadong nag-resign.

I asked my students the best and worse SC case they read.
So I told them the best would be the Tenchavez and Aznar cases. Why? Because they were poetry in motion.And the simplicity was out of this world.
The worse:I have 2 & I’d rather not mention them. My students know,hwever.

Never made it to SCOTUS, but better than most justices.
His legacy continues beyond his time. My classes read his decisions for guidance and his erudite thinking uplifts everybody’s outlook and thinking.
RIP to a great legal scholar.
We mourn the loss of Senior Lecturer Richard Allen Posner, a longtime #UChicagoLaw scholar, former federal appellate judge, and pioneer in the field of law and economics, who died on November 10.

If you did not brief witness about her demeanor during trial, that she should not look at you for help, that means a failure in preparation. Witnesses should be properly guided during preliminary briefing. Otherwise, they will veer off and they’re suddenly in trouble.
'KINDLY AVOID THAT. JUST LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTS BEING SHOWN TO YOU'
PANOORIN: Pinagsabihan ni presiding officer Chiz Escudero si Davao City accountant Vingelin Bajan na iwasang tumingin sa mga Defense counsel at tingnan lamang ang mga dokumentong ipinapakita sa kaniya.
Ito ay matapos muling ireklamo ni House private prosecutor Mae Divinagracia ang paulit-ulit na pagtingin ni Bajan sa mga miyembro ng Defense team. #VPOnTrial

Closed this class by telling students that while Conflicts may not change lives like Envi Law, Conflicts may yet improve rule of law in our country. That a certain and uniform approach in dealing with certain conventions will make life simpler and stable for everybody. #LovePRIL
Conflicts 101. The general rule in determining the nationality of a corporation is control test. If there is doubt, use grandfather rule and look at the layers.
Whoever thought that students would be studying this stuff in Conflicts one day?
PRIL is the complete package.

My Conflicts class at FEU Law. If you have not heard about depecage, ask them. Or why Pope Leo can still vote in US elections.
They will not disappoint for they were trained by me. 👏
When a client calls for a meeting at an expensive fine dining restaurant, I go out of my comfort zone and order food unfamiliar with me. I might like it, &that’s one benefit of being a lawyer. Too often, we only order those familiar to us,but it’s always good to go out of the box
For those who never understood the meaning of whitewash, this is it 👇
GOBYERNONG WALANG PUSO! paano nalulunok ng LGU PASAY ang magpa-temporary closed ng mga small businesses para sa ASEAN meeting???!!! Oct 29 inorder na magsara ang Diwata Pares at iba pang katabi nito, kasi raw para sa paghahanda ng ASEAN meeting, pag naka open sila may mga magpa-parking na sasakyan sa labas ???? SANA ALL BALIW!!
Hanggang Nov 18 pa ang end ng ASEAN summit, so 20 days silang walang sahod at di kakain ??? NAKAKAGALIT!!!
