Administrative Matters

Yesterday was mainly dedicated to administrative matters both in my consultancy and in our law office.

Since it was Nico's field trip (that I could not join), I went early to my consultancy to file some reports. These reports were mainly paperwork needed as a formality to getting paid.

Then, it was off to my office to announce and implement some of the things we agreed upon during the planning session. We gathered our non-legal staff (translation: our employees who are not lawyers) to announce the matters that would affect them. We will do the same with our legal staff today during our weekly lawyers meeting.

I will have some time, therefore, between now and that meeting. I'll just do some work from home and probably start on the things I have to do in my consultancy for this month.

I have to go now. I have to prepare to take Bea to school and then get some rest.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.

Side Oath

The Lawyer's Oath
I do solemnly swear that
I will maintain allegiance to
the Republic of the Philippines,
I will support its Constitution
and obey the laws as well as
the legal orders of the
duly constituted authorities therein;
I will do no falsehood,
nor consent to the doing of any in court;
I will not wittingly or willingly
promote or sue any groundless,
false or unlawful suit,
nor give aid nor consent to the same;
I will delay no man for money or malice,
and will conduct myself as a lawyer
according to the best of my knowledge
and discretion with all good fidelity
as well to the courts as to my clients;
and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion.
So help me God.
