The Ateneo de Davao Legal Advocacy Works is an organization of law students who are interested to take the route to alternative lawyering. The mission of the group is to expose the law students to issues relating to alternative lawyering like issues affecting marginalized groups i. e. women and children, farmers, fisherfolks, laborers, indigenous peoples. The exposure of the law students to alternative lawyering is for the main objective of giving them an option to choose from the mainstream litigation lawyering to alternative lawyering. In the process, the group has immersions and conducts trainings among the marginalized groups mentioned above.
