Cerilles State College School of Law (SOL) enrolled in the Clinical Legal Education Program (CLEP) took their oath as certified law student practitioners on October 30, 2024, at the Regional Trial Court, Branch 20, in Pagadian City. The ceremony was administered by Hon. Dennis P. Vicoy, Executive Judge. Atty. Bobby M. Borces, Clerk of Court for Branch 20 and the Supervising Lawyer Atty.

The program aims to nurture competent and principled lawyers who advocate for justice and serve communities.
