Hi Fehl. I don't know a whole lot on the law, but I do have a strong sense of morality. This is a well made hub, you must have spent ages writing and compiling it. That's why I prefer writing poetry. :) I am so lazy.... LOL. The law is a powerful weapon for good when you know all he rules. Are you a law-type person? You never told me. Must be lots of lawyers in the Philippines. :) Take care, Fehl. XXOO

The released results of CHED in 2010 does not hold those ranks constant. This 2011, UP ranked 1st (I think the passing rate is 99%...HELL!), ADMU ranked 2nd, SBC ranked 3rd, FEU ranked 4th, and UST ranked 5th on the list of the top 5 law schools in the Philippines. The Bar Exam itself can be seen as 80% luck and 20% academic effort depending on the anonymous and top secret judge or justice having different expertise in law (International, Civil, Criminal, Taxation, etc.) who made the exam. When the Bar Exam season comes, usually there are leakages on who made the exams and what his expertise is which is the most probable dominant topic in the exam. Bar takers cross their fingers as they scrutinize a few areas of law and consider the others as minor just-in-case topics (My God! No one can prioritize all the aspects of law.), hoping that it will come out as the main topics of the exam. Hope this modifies other peoples' outlook regarding the law students and graduates' world in the Philippines. Thank you.

University of Perpetual Help College Law in Binan, Laguna have a new Dean, Justice C. Vasquez Jr. They have good professors and very conducive place of learning. Their full tuition fee for freshmen I think is only P26K/sem, miscellaneous included.

I think PUP college of law is the cheapest when it comes to tuition fees, according to their wb site per unit is only 500php. I just don't know how the school performs when it comes to the subject matter. :D

Hi. For new entrants to UP Law, the tuition may run somewhere between 20T-35T per semester, depending on the number of units that you're enrolling in. UP has a complicated tuition scheme because students are categorized into different economic brackets, and your tuition

per unit will depend on which bracket you get classified to. The highest bracket, I think, pays 1,500 per unit. Until about four or five years ago, the tuition in UP Law was 300 per unit. And yes, there are plenty of scholarships available. These are mostly sponsored scholarships from UP law alumni and prestigious law firms, but the college manages the applications for the sponsors. Each scholarship has its own set of eligibility requirements but it's not that hard to get one.

well,law is a very interesting course,,but to think that lawyers must have to lie and do everything just to win the case is an easy way to go hell..hehehehehe.

FEU or UST law? dear lord! i dont understand why others give high regards to FEU when (insert gasp here!) FEU is just an average school with a rather posh looking campus... FEU is not even an option after one gets debarred from UST. seriously, if you didnt make it to ateneo or up, the only options you have are BEDA or UST...

It was Far Eastern University-De La Salle University (Juris Doctor MBA)
