Our Atty. Kristine Pauline M. Ongtenco was invited by the DLSU Tañada Diokno College of Law’s Moot and Debate Society (LAMDES) to share her insights on the fundamentals of mooting. Atty. Ongtenco shared her experiences in mooting and talked about how these helped in her professional practice at GSMH Law. She specifically discussed the importance of narrative in legal writing and how mooting can develop legal analysis and storytelling skills, preparing mooters for the real thing.
