The MEMORY AID (MemAid) is a compendium - a synthesis of different law


- materials available to the public,. emphasizing pe~iQ_ent details that its readers ·need to
be familiar with. Being thorough and extensive, the MemAid aims to help barristers in·
their preparations ·tor the bar, maxi,:nizing their time by doing away:with the need of
· reading a l_ot of_ different review materials.· Thus,. t~e Mem~id is the barristers' much
needed companion.
'

This year, the San Seda Centrali;zed Bar Operations (CBO) continues to uphoJd
its legacy of service and excellence in helping ~he barri~ters hurdle the bat. It is tlien ·
the fervent hope of the CBO that the MemAid will contribute to the success of all
barristers as they hurdle the· last leg of their journey towards becoming the lawyers
they aspire to be. It may be arduous but as Paulo Coelho puts it:. "When you want
something, all the universe conspire for you to achieve it."

So, go agair1st ·all odds! Per aspera ad astral


.

UT IN-OMNIBUS CLORIFICETUR DEUS!


' ' . .
That in all things,· God may be glorified!
