Prof. Annika Lagerqvist Veloz Roca holds lecture in USC
Law professors and students had the privilege of attending a lecture-discussion by Prof. Annika Lagerqvist Veloz Roca on the Swedish Constitutional System at the Theodore Buttenbruch Hall last December 13, 2007.
A noted constitutionalist in Sweden, Prof. Veloz Roca is in USC as visiting professor under the Staff Exchange Program that the college has with the Department of Law of Stockholm University, Sweden.
In the lecture, Prof. Veloz Roca highlighted the special features of her government such as the function-sharing set up as opposed to the power-sharing system in the Philippines. She likewise pointed out the best features of the government such as having separate Supreme Courts to deal with matters pertaining to administrative cases, and to penal and civil cases.
The concept of the Ombudsman originated in Sweden and Prof. Veloz Roca also shared how this control arm of the government guards against bribery and corruption in public service.
USC College of Law is the only law school in the country with the Staff and Student Exchange Program with Stockholm University. The program is now on its seventh year since its formal launching.

Revised Christmas Holiday Schedule, 2007-2008
The Christmas Holiday Schedule for Academic Year 2007-2008 is hereby revised thus:
After the college pre-midterm examinations scheduled next week, college and graduate classes shall continue until Friday, December 21, and, where applicable, until Saturday, December 22.
The University Christmas Party shall be held from afternoon until evening of Thursday, December 20. Work and classes on that day shall be only until noon.
Work and classes resume on the next day, Friday, December 21.
For the Basic Education Department in the South Campus, which will most probably be the venue of the University Christmas party, good weather permitting, classes will be held only until Wednesday, December 19. The teachers in that campus will please make the necessary adjustments for the date of their recollection and Christmas get-together.
For the Basic Education Department in the North Campus, arrangements shall be made with the Office of the Vice-president for Academic Affairs, within the overall university schedule here outlined.
Work in all campuses continue until Saturday, December 22. Though Saturday classes, where applicable, shall be held from morning through the afternoon until evening, official work in all campuses shall be only until noon.
We all come back for work and classes on Monday, January 7, 2008.
The change has been prompted by the desire to put together class days and rest days while ensuring that we do not lose official academic and class days.
Some of us might feel uneasy that we should still come back for work and classes on Friday, December 21. But let the uneasiness yield to our obligation to deliver classes as we should and the need to balance work days and rest days.
And may we, as USC community, and as individual families joyfully celebrate the birth of the Word of God who became one of us –
“just to say I love you,
so we may live
and learn to say the same.”
