Two Alphans were selected as editors of the Philippine Law Journal and the Ateneo Law Journal.

Ricky “Ras” Sabornay ’08 placed third in the competitive examination of the Philippine Law Journal (PLJ) editorial board. Oscar Carlo “Caloy” Cajucom ’05 was also selected as an editor of the Ateneo Law Journal.

The PLJ is the leading scholarly journal of the legal profession in the country, which publishes legal articles and essays written by justices of the Supreme Court, leading practitioners in the field, and international scholars. The PLJ is based in the UP College of Law and is being managed by a select group of eight (8) law student editors chosen and ranked after an exam consisting of two on-the-spot essay exams and the writing of a legal article.

Meanwhile, the Ateneo Law Journal, founded in 1951, began as a journal published bi-monthly representing the collaborative effort of Ateneo de Manila student editors and staffers guided by faculty advisers. It features articles of legal interest, the latest legislation, case law, and book reviews, as well as selected theses of the graduating batch.

Ras is also a member of the Order of the Purple Feather, the honor society of the College of Law . Incidentally, Caloy belongs to the upper three percent of his class at the Ateneo.

Their accomplishments reaffirm the Alphan tradition of service and excellence to the institutions that exert tremendous influence in the reshaping of contemporary legal debates in the country.
