Introduction

UA&P’s Law program provides training in standard competencies expected of lawyers, such as legal reasoning and advocacy. Following worldwide trends in the field of legal education, and helped by its integration within UA&P and within the School of Law and Governance, the Law program is envisioned to increasingly adopt interdisciplinary and international perspectives. This is a 4-year course in law that fulfills all government requirements for those preparing for admission to the bar. It requires the previous completion of a bachelor’s degree course. Unless exempted, applicants should take the Philippine Law School Admission Test (PhilSAT). Applications will only be processed upon submission of the original of the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) containing the applicant’s PhilSAT score/rating, or Exemption from PhilSAT. Applicants are encouraged to file their applications as soon as they have their COE or PhilSAT Exemption.
