- School of Law and Jurisprudence Library
The School of Law and Jurisprudence Library is a special library center that serves as a place of discovery, exchange, and advancement of ideas, and responds to the information and research needs of its clients. The library collection includes books, journals, and online databases. It is Wi-Fi capable and equipped with computers with an Internet connection along with printing facilities. - Moot Court
The Moot Court located in the 2 nd floor of the CEU Gil Puyat Campus is a real-life replica of a court room set up and is used during Practice Court sessions. This is where law students are trained and are honed to become masters in the craft of litigation and in the intricacies of the law profession. Students are made to bridge their four years of theoretical experience to practical applications through actual simulation learning of cases in a setting fit for a true litigator. - The Office of the Legal Aid (OLA)In consideration of the well-known mantra “those who have less in life must have more in law” and in compliance with the requirements of the Legal Education Board, every Law School is mandated to have its own legal aid clinic which caters to the under privileged members of the Society who are not able to secure legal services and counseling due to economic or social inadequacies. As part of the CEU Curriculum, third year law students, under the direction and supervision of a capable Legal Professor and Adviser, are expected to handle real life cases brought to the Office of the Legal Aid. The CEU (OLA) is open from Mondays to Saturdays, starting 8:00 in the morning until 5:30 in the evening, to anyone who is need of legal advice
or assistance.
