The Law and the Freshman Legislator was held twice in 2021. The first session was held at the U.S. District Court for the NMI on January 7, 2021. This program allows new legislators to learn more about basic legal research, the Constitution, and the Covenant in order to better understand their role as public servants. This session also allows the newly elected legislators to get to know one another. The second Law & the Freshman Legislator session was held at the Guma' Hustisia on October 16, 2021, for Corina L. Magofna, who won the special general election to fill a Precinct 3 seat vacated by the passing of Rep. Ivan A. Blanco.
