JHCSC School of Law held a consultative meeting on April 11, 2026, at the JHCSC Hostel, Pagadian City Extension Campus, and via Zoom to address key academic and administrative concerns affecting the School of Law community.

The meeting brought together key officials and faculty members, including Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Vilma C. Grengia, Pagadian Campus Director Dr. Patricia D. Bahian, and School of Law Dean Atty. Romylyn O. Regidor, and Finance Director Ms. Jesu Marie R. Reducto, representing Vice President for Administration and Finance Mr. Wilfredo M. Barnido Jr., together with members of the School of Law faculty, to discuss matters related to the continued development of the program.

Central to the discussion were proposed adjustments to faculty compensation, including concerns, updates, and possible funding strategies, as well as the review and confirmation of candidates for graduation to ensure that all academic and institutional requirements are met. The participants also assessed the School of Law’s performance in the 2025 Bar Examination and identified possible measures to improve future results further.

Other agenda items included the discussion of policies on special classes and removal cases, updates on the use and enhancement of ExamSoft for examinations and academic assessments, and the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-based research and extension initiatives through the Continuing Legal Education Program (CLEP). Updates on the refresher course program were also presented, along with the initial proposal to offer a Master of Legal Studies–Juris Doctor (MLS–JD) program and a review of policies governing audit classes.

The consultative meeting aimed to strengthen coordination among stakeholders and ensure the continuous improvement of the School of Law’s academic programs and institutional initiatives.
