History is made when bounds are broken and unimaginable
heights are attained. This was the case on the 29th day of
November, 2019. On this historic day, the South-East zonal
Directorate of Policies, Programs and Projects of the Law Students’
Association of Nigeria (LAWSAN) under the leadership of Victor
Ezesinachi Okoli organized a massive outreach tagged “LAWSAN Goes
To School”  which is in line with the vision of the
National President Sen. Emmanuel Eze Nwobodo who
Is unflinchingly committed to adding value.

The theme of this outreach was “What the Law is and
what the Law is not… bringing the Law home.” The aim of
the outreach was to create awareness among Secondary School
students in the South East on certain important aspects of the Law
in society. The students were taught their basic rights as citizens
of Nigeria, the limitations of these rights and also, their duties
and obligations as citizens of the country.

The outreach was organized in 36 secondary schools across
