Law students filled the hallways with excitement, laughter, and lively chatter as they gathered for the start of the academic year 2026-2027.

The event was aimed to welcome the students and provide them a practical headstart to their law school journey through a series of sessions led by the selected faculty members of the college.

The parties clashed on key issues pertaining to school facilities and amenities, the impartiality of the CLSA, and ratification of the changes in the CLSA Constitution-and-By-Laws, among others.

They competed against Notre Dame University (NDU) for the first round and Notre Dame of Marbel University (NDMU) for the second round.

Residents and alumni of fraternities and barbarians fired up the MSU-CETD gymnasium in their showdown, bridging the old and new blood and forging friendships in the esteemed institution.
