In the summer of 2012, thanks to the generosity of certain benefactors, the Publications Room was completely renovated to accommodate the changing needs of the Journal. The room was given more space to store the Journal’s growing archive while also affording the Board of Editors a more conducive atmosphere for scholarly work.

Of course, such a modernization program would be incomplete without a proper blessing. With the Ateneo de Manila University School of Law’s chaplain, Fr. Filoteo A. Mangulabnan, S.J., presiding over the proceedings, the Publications Room was blessed on 28 June 2012. The event also allowed the representatives of the benefactors an opportunity to see how their donations were put to use. Notable attendees include Dean Sedfrey Candelaria and Atty. Alexander Dy of Villanueva Gabionza Santos Law.
