but was replaced by the Legal Education Board since 1993 after the enactment of Republic Act No. 7662 or the Legal Education Reform Act of 1993.


History

The legal education in the Philippines was first introduced during the Spanish occupation when, in 1734, the

was ratified, the Universidad Literaria de Filipinas was established by Joaquin Gonzalez in 1899; the said institution offered several courses including law. However, the Literaria's existence was short lived as a result of the eruption of the Filipino-American conflict. During the American occupation, specifically in 1911, the

was established, through the vision and efforts of George Malcolm. The said law institution continues to be the one of the oldest state college of law in the country. The ratification of the 1935 Constitution paved the way for the establishment of law programs in various private colleges and universities in Manila (schools, at that time, were required to acquire license to operate from the Department of Public Instruction). At that time, there was hardly any kind of supervision of law schools, especially for private institutions. The Faculty of Civil Law of the

and in the contemporary time, more law schools were then established.


Legal Education Board

The Legal Education Board supervises all law schools and continuing legal education providers in the Philippines. The board is headed by a chairman who is a retired justice of a collegiate court (i.e., Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Sandiganbayan, Court of Tax Appeals, etc.). Regular members of the Board include a representative from each of the following: *

Mandatory Continuing Legal Education

Lawyers with names appearing in the ''Rolls of Attorneys of the Supreme Court'', unless disbarred, are all members of the
Integrated Bar of the Philippines The Integrated Bar of the Philippines ( fil, Pinagsamang mga Abogasya ng Pilipinas abbreviated as IBP) is the national organization of lawyers in the Philippines. It is the mandatory bar association for Filipino lawyers. History The IBP was establ ...
(IBP). However, to be IBP members of good standing, lawyers are required to complete, every three years, at least thirty-six hours of continuing legal education seminars approved by the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Committee (MCLE). Members who fail to comply shall pay a non-compliance fee, and shall be listed as a delinquent member. The Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Office, established by the Supreme Court, is the official government agency tasked to implement compliance with the MCLE requirement. The MCLE Office is headed by former Supreme Court Justice Carolina C. Grino-Aquino, widow of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Ramon Aquino. Its office is located at the fourth floor of the IBP Building in Ortigas Center.

Law degree programs

Law degree programs are considered professional/post-baccalaureate programs in the Philippines. As such, admission to law schools requires the completion of a

Legal education in the Philippines normally proceeds along the following route: * Undergraduate education (usually 4 years) * Law school (usually 4 years) * Admission to the bar (usually by taking a Philippine bar exam) * Legal practice and mandatory continuing legal education Law degrees in the Philippines may be classified into three types—professional, graduate level and honorary.


Professional law degrees

In order to be eligible to take the bar examinations, one must complete the
Juris Doctor The Juris Doctor (J.D. or JD), also known as Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D., JD, D.Jur., or DJur), is a graduate-entry professional degree in law and one of several Doctor of Law degrees. The J.D. is the standard degree obtained to practice law ...

Currently, the program may be taken either with thesis or that with non-thesis. **

Developments

There is a move among members of the Philippine Association of Law Schools (PALS) to convert their LL.B. programs into J.D. curricula. There are currently two possible directions for the change: First, the conversion of LL.B. programs through adopting a model substantially similar to the J.D. curriculum introduced by the Ateneo de Manila Law School (the J.D. Programs of the FEU-La Salle consortium and the University of Batangas Law School are of this mold), and second, simply changing the name of the degree conferred from "LL.B." to "J.D." while essentially retaining the same course offerings as those in the DECS Model Law Curriculum (DECS Order No. 27, series of 1989).

. This power is exercised through a Bar Examination Committee, an ad hoc academic group tasked to formulate questions, administer proceedings, grade examinations, rank candidates, and release the results of the Philippine Bar Examination. To be eligible to take the national bar exam, a candidate must be a Filipino citizen, at least twenty-one years of age, and holder of a bachelor's degree and a law degree obtained from a government recognized law school in the Philippines. Graduates of law schools from other countries must obtain a law degree from the Philippines to qualify for the Philippine Bar. In March 2010 the Supreme court issued Bar matter 1153 allowing Filipino who are foreign law graduates to take the Bar exam provided that applicant complies with the following conditions: # completion of all courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws or its equivalent degree; # recognition or accreditation of the law school by the proper authority; # completion of all fourth year subjects in the Bachelor of Laws academic program in a law school duly recognized by the Philippine Government; and # must have completed a separate bachelor's degree."

''The Practice: Business and Leisure Magazine for Lawyers''. August–September 2004 Issue. It is also reputedly one of the hardest bar examinations in the world.

The Supreme Court Bar Office conducts the exam while the Office of Muslim Affairs determines the qualification and eligibility of candidates to the exams.


Attorneys-at-law

To be a full-fledged lawyer in the Philippines and be eligible to use the title ''Attorney'', a candidate must graduate from a Philippine law school, take and pass the Philippine Bar Examinations, the candidate who passed the bar examinations is entitled to take and subscribe before the Supreme Court special en banc session the corresponding Attorney's Oath, as follows: The certificate to practice law will be granted by the Supreme Court after the lawyer sign his name in the ''Rolls of Attorneys of the Supreme Court''. The full names of lawyers are found in the ''Rolls of Attorneys of the Supreme Court'', and in a similar list included in a Supreme Court publication entitled ''Law List.''


Philippine law schools

Starting from 2017, the Legal Education Board had started implementing the Philippine Law School Admission Test (PhilSAT); the failure to pass such admission test prohibits a person from enrolling to any law schools in the Philippines. It is a one-day aptitude test intended to measure the academic potential of an examinee who wishes to pursue the study of law. , there are 108 law schools legitimately operating throughout the
