Description
Judge Dionis P. Jacobe wrote a dissertation entitled “Post-Conviction Remedies after Finality of Judgement” for the degree Doctor of Juridical Science (JSD) at the Graduate School of Law of San Beda University. His panel of examiners lauded the dissertation as a salutary proposal to remedy an existing lacuna in the law. In this regard, it truly is what a dissertation should be: A break-through in the discipline, a furthering of the horizons within a subject. By its publication, this scholarly work will now be available to students, practitioners and professors of law – but to all who, whether in the fields of justice administration or governance are concerned that while the long arm of the law captures malefactors from their lairs, the innocent are not unjustly deprived of their liberty.
