Jhosnayda Frias: I was one of the first student to attend this school when it first open in 1997, and to be honest if it wouldn't be for them, I wouldn't have been a successful lawyer, I have obtain my law degree because while attending this school I was encouraged and supported by many of the faculty. To this day I thank LGJ for making my dreams come true
