Legally Yours

I found an article in Philippine Daily Inquirer written by Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban about the Bar Exams and legal education in the country and I thought it would be good to share here because the subject concerns law students or future lawyers.

Last weekend,  I was able to talk with some friends who are now based in Dublin and I realized that Philippine law students are lucky to be pursuing law education here.  I found out that in Ireland,  a law student needs to undergo a series of exams,  not just one.   Mind you, each exam is quiet expensive and I can only imagine how crazy it is to review for a battery of exams.

This reminds me of the steps a medical professional has to go through before he or she can become a specialist.  It would be utterly difficult if lawyers will undergo that kind of process.  It would definitely double or triple the cost of legal service to the woe of the clients!

By the way,  here is the link to the Inquirer article "Bar Exams and Legal Education (3)."
