F: Tonight is a night like no other.

A: Tonight is the night that we live up once more to our tradition of excellence.

F: Tonight we honor another plaque in history made.

A: Since the birth of The Saint Mary’s University College of Law in the year 1996, it has

succeeded in its mission to dedicate itself to provide quality legal education directed

towards the empowerment of, and the inculcation of social awareness to every

individual; the sustainable development of the community in which he lives; and the

political, social and moral enlightenment of the Filipino nation amidst this fast-

paced world.

F:Fast forward to 2014,

  with 64 lawyers and counting, and in its 18 years ofunfaltering excellence and distinction, the College of Law of Saint Mary’s University

continues to prosper and maintain its promise of producing Marian lawyers –

lawyers that consistently exude the purpose and aspirations of the College.

A: Tonight is also a night dedicated to the new Marian Lawyers. Truly, to be able to

hurdle the bar is both a fulfilling and humbling experience; to conquer what many

people aspire, to achieve what only a few can reach and to be where they werealways meant to be.

F: The enthusiasm of entering law school; the personal frustrations conveyed by

disastrous recitations; the small pleasure carried by an exam passed; the satisfying

feeling of marching with flying colors; the restless nights of preparing for the Bar

Exams; the anxiety of waiting for its results; and the tears of happiness when finally

names will be preceded by the letters A.T.T.Y.

A: So tonight, let us commemorate our tradition of excellence of the College of Law and

celebrate the humble success of our new Marian Lawyers, as we welcome you to the

annual

F & A:Testimonial Dinner.
