CHIEF JUSTICE MANUEL V. MORAN COMMUNITY LEGAL ASSISTANCE OFFICE (CJMM CLAO)
On April 18, 2015, the Chief Justice Manuel V. Moran Community Legal Assistance Office (CJMM CLAO) was formally launched through the initiative of former SLU President Rev. Fr. Jessie M. Hechanova and former SOL Dean Jason R. Barlis. It is the official legal aid office of SLU and a pioneer in the institutionalization of a structured legal aid clinic in Baguio and in Benguet.
Having named in the honor of Chief Justice Manuel V. Moran, a champion in advancing the cause of the poor, the CJMM CLAO is committed to ensuring equal access to justice for all members of the community by offering a wide range of legal services, including representation in court, legal advice and counselling, and community legal education. To create a meaningful change through community outreach, CJMM CLAO works to promote and protect the legal rights of the vulnerable and marginalized individuals through collaboration and partnerships with other organisations to effect broader systemic change.
Since its inception in 2015, the CJMM CLAO has served more than 4,000 individuals through community-based activities, including seminars and trainings, court representations, jail visit activities, and free legal aid program. At present, CJMM CLAO has five legal clinics namely: the Women and Children’s Rights Clinic, Labor and Worker’s Rights Clinic, Litigation Clinic, Transactional Clinic and the Green Clinic. These five (5) clinics are significant in giving essence to the CJMM CLAO’s mission of advocating, advancing, and protecting the rights of some of the marginalized sectors of our society. In addition to these clinics, the CJMM CLAO also undertakes mediation through the Community Dispute Resolution Center and a continuing partnership with the Bureau of Jail and Management Penology (BJMP) of Baguio City in rendering legal assistance to persons deprived of liberty (PDLs).
The CJMM CLAO continues to thrive, propelled by the dedicated efforts of its esteemed past directors: Atty. Jose Adrian M. Bonifacio (2015-2016), Atty. Jennifer N. Asuncion (2016-2018), Atty. Yasmine Lee R. Tadeo (2018-2020), Atty. Bernadette C. Mendoza (2020), and Atty. Jason R. Barlis (2020-2021). Under the current leadership of SOL Dean Jerico G. Gay-ya, and current CJMM CLAO Director Atty. Victoria P. Dines, with the support of SLU President Rev. Fr. Gilbert B. Sales and the SLU Administration, the legal aid office perseveres in its mission to safeguard rights and ignite positive change in the lives it touches.
