Since the SOLAS (Society of Law students) still does not have a constitution, Governor Orayan has appointed Rep. Barnsbey Cagang to head the commission. Three of the LEX PARETO team members were chosen to become a part of the commission of nine. One of the provisions suggested by the PARETO team is that the job of making reviewers and materials for the bar candidates should be transferred from the BAR OPERATIONS to a separate committee (A research committee), in order that the academic side of bar preparations should be given more focus. The commission has preliminarily agreed to approve the proposal. This is a very important matter for the LEX PARETO NOTES, since this will determine the future of the project. 

The website has also been updated to include, "FOREWORD by Prof. Domondon", "About the authors" and a sneak preview in criminal law. Updates on the project has been added as well.
