On July 30, 2001, President Tacbas submitted the proposal to the UNP BOR for deliberation. Two recommendations were made. The first was the need for an assessment of the readiness of the proposed program by the Technical Panel for Legal Education (TPLE). The second was the need to secure the financial commitment of the Provincial Government to support the program.
On September 23, 2001, the TPLE came to assess the proposed program. On February 1 2002, the TPLE gave its favorable endorsement of the proposed program to the UNP BOR. At almost the same time, the Governor of locos Sur magnanimously granted the request of President Tacbas for financial assistance in the amount of 1 million annually. On May 2002, Retired Justice Amante O. Alconcel donated his law books, including his Supreme Court Report Annotated (SCRA) to serve as fountain of wisdom to the future lawyers of the province. With the two requirements adequately secured, President Tacbas requested the Board to finally approve the proposal to establish the College of Law.
On March 5, 2002, through Board Resolution No. 13 s. 2002, the UNP BOR approved the establishment of the College of Law. In the second week of May of the same year, President Tacbas constituted the Admission Committee. The Committee recommended to the University President that the Center for Educational Measurement be tapped in the conduct of the admission test.
