LMSoc aspires to go beyond excellence in AGMM

On its 25th founding anniversary, the Legal Management Society (LMSoc) was aiming to go
beyond excellence as they present this year's operational plan in the Annual General
Membership Meeting (AGMM) last Aug. 29.
According to LMSoc adviser Atty. Antonio Chua, LMSoc was the first student organization in the
University to conduct a general assembly in a form of a non-stock and non-profit corporation
meeting.
"Since we (LMSoc) wants to train students to leadership and management, we would like to
equate the organization into a non-stock and non-profit corporation. We are going to make this
as an example to other societies and organizations on how a membership meeting should be
done," Chua said.
Vice presidents for external and internal affairs Meryll Guintu and Camille Grace Cariaga
presented the various planned activities and seminars of LMSoc, promoting academic,
leadership, community and total development in the quorum proper.
Enhancing the students knowledge in the fields of law and management, LMSoc proposed
Hope for Greeneration, human rights forum election law seminar, marriage & family Seminar
special criminal law seminar, current events in law and management seminar, Venture: choosing
the right business seminar, financial management seminar digital marketing and the Legal
Management (LM) tour as their projects in promoting academic enhancement.
Moreover, LMSoc wants to assess the knowledge of the students through the LM class clash,
debate series and business plan competition. It is also mentioned that the students would have
the opportunity to join inter-university competitions.
With its aim to produce effective leaders that would contribute and make impact in the society,
LMsoc offers the legal management leaders conference, leadership training seminars and
youth empowerment seminar for the leadership enhancement of students.

LMsoc also plans to have livelihood programs regarding basic financial management,
responsible agricultural practices and business expansion to develop the students community
involvement.
In efforts to help in the total development of the students, LMSoc will carry out the Law School
Forum, Whats Next? seminar, LM Awards Night, LM Exhibit, LM Sportsfest and alternative
classes in public speaking, social circle expansion and personal development
Collecting a total of P272, 000, LMSoc treasurer Iya Merilles and auditor Wency Reynes
assured this years fund is properly allocated for the pursuance of the mentioned projects in
their presentation of the budget proposal.
The Legal Management Societys projects for this academic year are congruent to our
universitys main goal which is to produce students who are competent, commited and
compassionate, Cariaga said.
Former LMSoc vice president for internal affairs Miguel San andres had also presented the past
administrations accomplishment last year.
After the quorum proper, LMSoc introduced heads and assistant heads of its different
comittees and guilds followed by the performances of Viva Voce and Lex Baile.
The AGMM is the annual general assembly of the LM students. Its goal is to promote
camaraderie among the LM students by the start of the school year and to present the officers
and the yearly projects of LMSoc. F
