By Board Resolution No. 2017-17 dated 23 June 2017, the Ateneo de Naga University Board of Trustees, pursuant to Part II, A (1) of Resolution No. 2015-08 of the Legal Education Board, approved the establishment of the Ignatian Legal Apostolate Office (ILAO). Independently or in affiliation with other institutions and organizations, and with Ignatian values and formation, ILAO aims to provide these services:
(1) Experiential Learning or Clinical Legal Education
(2) Free Legal Assistance and Developmental Legal Aid
(3) Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, Bar Refresher, and Bar Review
(4) Human Rights, Rule of Law, and Access to Justice Advocacy

Through ILAO, the College of Law molds practice-ready graduates and servant-lawyers who shall contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights, strengthening the rule of law and the administration of justice, and enhancing access to legal aid of the poor and marginalized. ILAO officially opened its services to the public on 29 July 2017. Guided by its Director, Resident Lawyer and with the assistance of law student volunteers, it has since then won cases for its indigent clients.
