Couldn't agree more. I entered law school in 2018 at the age of 62, working and a grandfather. I finished last year, passed the 2022 bar and took my oath as a lawyer on May 2, 2023, at the age of 67.
Congratulation panyero!
@@TheDeanLawChannel Thank you, sir!
You are truly an inspiration. Thank you.
67 years young. You have many years remaining to continue helping the whole of humanity.
You rockkkkkkkk! ❤ very motivational I’m 32 and have several doubts
My aunt became a lawyer at age 51. She entered law school when she was 44 years old, took the BAR 3 times.
I'm really proud of her.
And she is inspiring as well. This proves, one should never give up their ambition and dreams. Thanks for the comment and the view.
Wow inspiring.. I'm 39 and planning to take up law next year.
what was her first job after passing the bar?
@@peterpiper5300 She stayed in her government job, she just got promoted. She didn't change her job because it's already well-paying I think. And she's after the retirement benefits.
Same here, Corduroy. I'm 39. Will go to law school next AY 2022. Yay!
The people that dislikes this vid are the young peoples that thought being a lawyer is for young ones only.
I am sorry for the late reply. Was on holiday. I appreciate your comment. God Bless.
As a 37 year old wondering if it’s really not too late/if I’d be wasting time that could be spent doing something else, this is such an encouraging perspective. Great, great video - thank you so much Dean! God bless you 🙏🏾
I just accepted a 70 year as a first year law student.
i needed this because i just turned 39 last week and I am so contemplating on going to law school next year. being a lawyer has been my dream since grade school and now that I have a daughter, I would be doing her a disservice if she finds out about my dream and I did not pursue it plus, i am so inlove with the law. Thank you for this Dean
There should be nothing that should stop you. It's never too late. Be who you want to be
Go for it!!!!
What did you decide?
@@jayo523 I have decided to do it. I have already started processing my admission to San Beda University but I would try my luck in UP Law and Ateneo next year. Hopefully I pass the UP LAE and ALS. I will also set up a fund raising for my law school study because I honestly can not afford it :)
@@NoelAntonioAvisadoIII congratulations and good luck! Looking back I wish I would have gone for it 4 years ago when I really first started contemplating it.
I entered law school at 28. I am now 32. I stopped this sem because of severe depression (from family problems, getting burnt out from a dead end job, recent break up, and getting tested positive for COVID-19). My anxiety went worse for stopping this sem because I am afraid I might graduate or take the bar/pass the bar only at my mid 30s. I've been feeling like a failure and that I am getting behind in life. This video eased my worries. Thanks, dean!
Hi Plarlene. You have quite a story. I sincerely hope that you continue. I have students in Caloocan who are in their 40s and 50s. You can make it!
awesome
I entered Law School at age 50, 2013. 30 years out of College. I got my JD/LLB 2017age 54. I have 4 children, three of them graduated college, during my Law school days. 😊
And Sir, may I say, its not what you know before entering Law school, but its what not they, but you don't know.
In other words, drop all baggages. Open your mind. You'll need it.
Nice to see a fellow lawyer here. Great tips for law student Leonard.
I am now inspired after reading your comment. Now, I am embarking on the journey.
Did you get any clients and were you hired at a firm?
Ouch 😓 the majority of the excuses are my excuses 😅. I'm turning 42 in December and I really really REALLY wanted to become a lawyer to the point where some people thought I am a lawyer 🤣. Thanks for your videos Dean. No room for excuses anymore 🙏.
Go for it! My record is 62 years old. He was doing great until Covid stopped him.
@@TheDeanLawChannel 😱
Turning 42 in Sept and I'm in the same boat. I think we should go for it!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I am a 38 year old single mother of 2 children. I wanted to study law early on in life, and a recent traumatic event has resurfaced what I thought was a buried dream. Your video was just the inspiration I needed to confirm my decision to move forward! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I truly wish you can get to law school and pursue your dream.
I am 31 y/o and I want to study law Dean, If ever that being a lawyer is not for me then at least I have background in law 😊. I love your videos. It really inspire me. God bless you.
Hi Mohiden, Thank you for your comment. If ever you need anymore particular advice, email me at the address listed in my About page.
Im 36 and this gives me hope to turn my life around. Ive got a clean record but haven't done anything with my life.
You can do it!
1:26 got me going, sir. 😂 I am married, a mom, and working also when i took my second course, Accountancy. Graduated, took, and passed the cpa licensure exam when I was 33 years old. I now teach Accountancy and I want to enter law school as well. Thanks for inspiring us through this content. 😊
Go for it Laya!
Hi Ms. Telyap! Wow! I am so inspired by you. I am married, with three kids, and enrolled in the course Accountancy. I hope I will be a CPA someday too.
@@catherinesecreto8956 You can do it! I am a law student as of the moment. Someday we will go back in this comment section and celebrate our academic adventure! Cheering for you & your CPALE ride! 😊
I'm 39 and aspiring to studying law. Thank you sir for giving us this very much needed- encouragement!
You can do it! I wish you good fortune in your pursuits.
I entered Law school in 2001 when I was just 27, but quit when I was in Third Year because of work and family. In the next several years I would contemplate going back, but those very same reasons---work and family--and now age, would hold me back.
This February I finally took the plunge and re-enrolled. I'm now 47.
I will be re-taking some of the subjects because their unit requirements are different now, and there are new ones that I'll need to take, but being mature have taught me to be patient, if not persevering. The delay in re-enrolling has set me back maybe a couple of years, but I figure I'll just go ahead and enjoy the journey in the years ahead because I'm sure, before I know it, It'll be time for me to finally take the Bar.
I only just saw this video, but this inspires me to keep going. I also feel like it validates my decision to go back to Law at such a mature age. The regret that I had procrastinated for years is still there, but I'm starting to slowly move on away from it.
Salamat, Dean.
You are very much welcome. I am elated that I confirmed your decision to go back to law. Just tell what can of help you need in case you are in a rut
Did you enroll sa law school? I'm 45 and planning to return this year
@@junnico Yes, I did enroll last year for the second semester and it's been a year now since I returned to Law. However, I'm taking the executive program, so I won't graduate until 2024 pa.
@@jeroldamago7952 Good for you and Good luck.
@@junnico You, too. Thanks.
Thank you, sir. What a great message you are putting out there to anyone who needs some encouragement on not only attending law school, but other areas in life also.
That's very nice of you Robert. I truly appreciate it. Thanks for the view and your comment.
Thank you Dean.
A new subscriber here from Davao City.
More power.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the comment and the view Joe!
I thank you so much for this video. I needed this
Glad it was helpful!
I'm 40 now, struggling to get a job and yet, I stumbled at this video. If I get the Remitly job, then I'll pursue law school. 3 yrs of crying? I cried all my life hahah! Thanks Atty.
It's actually 4 years.
Thank you Dean. My mom just passed the bar recently. She's a single parent. It gave me inspiration and enough courage to take up law at 28. Also, I've watched your vid about acing the law application interviews. I just got accepted. That vid helped me a lot. Kaya maraming salamat po Dean. I'm grateful. God bless you always po. More power to your channel and more success to your carreer.
Jose, that is wonderful news that your mom passed the bar and that you following her. I wish you the best of luck in your law career. Thanks for the comments, I feel very flattered
Thank you so much for your video and encouragements 🙏❤
You are so welcome
Studying for the LSAT at 28, starting at 30
Go for it. I wish you the best of luck. I had a year of a U.S. law school at 36.
Same!
I'm a working 22 year old who have a 1 year old son and a graduate of secondary education, I find your video very encouraging, Dean! More power to your channel! I'm a new subscriber btw 😁
You are so welcome! It's not too late for you!
Thank you Sir!
It inspires me a lot and even more.
I even knew someone, a lawyer, according to him, he was even interviewed and congratulated by a reporter for all they thought it was his child who passed the bar exam not knowing it was actually him who made it.
It is really never too late for me to achieve what I've dream of. Its a matter of discipline, hardwork and determination.
Thank you Sir!
Hey Harry. Thank you for watching my video. It's never too late to pursue your dream.
Dean Rod, thank you. Very entertaining and informative videos
I appreciate it very much. God Bless.
Thank you Dean,very inspirational😍 i learned a lot in each of your video..proud subscriber here...waiting for more videos to come..💖💖💖
Awesome! Thank you! Really appreciate it.
I'm having a goosebump sir.. Thanks po
Hope it goes away
I'm 48 and wanting to enter Law School as I was deprived to study college for marrying at 18. Having goosebumps but I wanted to do something for myself this time. Raising 3 kids as a single Mom is no joke. This time... is my time.
Yes. I have students that are in their 50s. Go for it!
@@TheDeanLawChannel Salamat Dean… will definitely go for it po.
Two thumbs up video Dean.
Video contents, Sense of humor, SMG format presentation, CTA are present in your video, to name a few.
If I' m not mistaken, This is the 5th video i watched and liked..
Thank you Allan. I also subscribed to your channel. Hope to learn from you as well.
I'm a fan . Always watching your video Dean.
I learned alot from your videos.
God bless you more Dean idol! 💪😎
Awesome! Thank you!
I am inspired by your wisdom Sir.Stay well
So nice of you! Thanks
I am a 56 year old lawyer. Law career is not for everyone but if you feel that constant undying passion and desire to become one, there is 100% guarantee you will get that title Atty.
Good for your sir!
Good motivation thanks..
Most welcome
Thank you, Sir!
You are most welcome!
happy to hear the 1year of luck atty upon subscribing. love you atty.
Thanks for subbing!
Thank, you. At 55, I’m ready!
Go for it!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Two of my close Law School friend just became judges in NYC yesterday. I am OVERJOYED for them abs it has inspired me to DUST OFF and pursue a legal career AGAIN. I graduated law school in 1996 when I was pregnant with my 1st daughter who is now 24. I missed passing the NYC BAR by 40 points and I ended up focusing on raising and homeschooling my 3 children. Do you have any advice about how I should start studying for the Bar Exam? I am WAAY OUT OF TOUCH right now, but your video has ABSOLUTELY given me the courage to get back to studying and practicing law 🙏🏾💜🙏🏾
In the Philippines, law school offers refresher courses (sort of repeating the final year of law school). Maybe take an intensive bar review course. Good luck!
refreshing and inspiring Dean thank you I am in my 34 and I am too contemplating in taking up law, 2 children and 1 wife, working from home in digital marketing consultancy but becoming a lawyer is a college goal all I thought I am old to do it.
Good that you saw my video. It's never too late in my opinion. Pursue your dream.
@@effectiveinterwebs4676 Hey, go for it!
hi dean, i love your informative and inspiring videos. I hope to enroll this upcoming 2022 academic year. I am 30 and never really had plans but fate is definitely pushing me to this field as I am working in the judiciary for a while now. I hope I won't give up easily when it gets tough out there. Keep safe po!
Hi Jenn. You are the reason I make these videos. We need more law students to be passionate with the law. Thanks for the view and flattering comments.
Thank you Sir Dean for inspiring me. I'm 38 yrs old aspiring to be a lawyer I hope I can make it through.
You can do it! I wish you the best of luck Rowell.
Yup I wasn’t expecting what I saw but that’s awesome
Thanks D Mo!
Thank you Dean for this informative vedio, it helps a lot to all aspiring law students specially those law students their age numbers it was out in the calendar, as it says. It is better too late than never, the mere fact in education there is no age limit as long as you are willing to pursue your dream and have a great desire to fulfill or to achieve in what you have dreaming about in life, just follow your dream and go for it, you'll just continue looking forward to see the sunrise at the end of the day you'll reach on the finish line the success sacrifice, then you will harvest the fruit of your labor God bless dean
You are most welcome Diosdado. Update me if you will pursue law
So Entertaining Dean i love your Videos....
Glad you like them! I really appreciate your kind words.
I finally decided to enroll this semester at the age of 32. Fighting.
Good luck to you!
thank you, sir. I feel excited and nervous at the same time.
Super nakaka encourage po dean 🤗. Dream ko po talaga mag law. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in Public Affairs and I hope it can help me (at least) to survive law school in the future.
Good luck to you. You should try because that is your dream. Your passion will give you strength to survive
Ang taking mo.teats of joy.nowbi have the courage to really pushtrough my dream to become a lawyrar
Go for it!
I am an incoming law student at the age of 48. And I'm already starting to review before the school year begins. Time is precious.
Still plenty of time. I have several students in their late 50s and early 60s
Nice Dean! Nakakaaliw yung party part. Yeaaaah~ hahahaha
Thank you! I try to make my videos non-boring.
Good Day Dean, as you've said it is not too late for anyone, I am planning to enroll in the college of law, it is my long time goal actually, as my father took the same, but unluckily he did not finish. Appreciate your response, Thank you Sir Dean🙏🙏🙏
Best of luck! Go for it!
I was very interested in law since my ten standard so i made up my to study law after my twelve but due to the corona I cannot go out of my state to study so I joined in a government college for graduation it saddened me alot so i told parents that i want to study to my surprise my parents supported n agreed I discontinued my college n waited one year to enter into law college n finally I m a law student. Whatever the sir told is completely true there is no age limit for studying law only if u have determination hardworking , perseverance n patience then success is yours
I appreciate your wonderful thoughts. I wish you good fortune in your pursuits
Inspiring
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the video
Great Tip Dean....
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again Lagim
I read that a woman went to law school (Southern U Law Center) in her early sixties.Tuition is free for senior citizens there and she got it all paid for.
I had a law student who was 64. Was passing his subjects. Unfortunately, he got Covid
Thank you so much @The Dean more than .I'am more motivated actually rigth after I graduated from college Going up to Law School was one of Dream and ambitions something that I'am somehow good at it .because during my college days .I'am fond of reading comprehension my Law Subjects are quite good and like we have a Law q and Law 2 Subjects in commerce Obligations and contracts I remember I earned a 1.5 grade with it .I'am a Commerce Major in Management .For now I have my own small Bussiness buy due to some financial constraint I Find it hard to pursue law School.But iam not losing hope that someday I could pursue my ever dream to enter Law School.
I have subscribe dean on you You Tube Channel.
That take and pursue your dream. You will comfortable in taking law proper as you can easily understand legal concepts. Some schools offer scholarships. My school, the University of Caloocan City College of Law averages around 18K per semester.
I think.. I am overthing..so I stop thinking.. and now I am in the beginning it's harsh but while I am watching your videos ..I will proving myself that age is just a numbers..and forget what they going to say ..believing is a must..reaching your dream is a start your inspiring work as to become a lawyer.
Go for it Daffodil!
1:27 hahaha nice one uncle rod or should I say the dean! 🤣👏🏽
Thanks Miguel. Lets start it!
Thank you much for this video! I've been contemplating for the past 5 years whether I should go to law school or not. I am now ready to enroll this coming SY22/23. Thank you po!
Go for it!
Dean, my two younger siblings are already lawyers. I'm 34 yrs old this July 2023. Could I make it through? 😂 some peeps here at the comment section are late 20s when they entered law school. While now I'm on my way at mid 30s.
You can! I have admitted applicants in their 40s at my school
1:26 ang galing ni Dean sa part na ito 😂, motivational na plus entertainment pa.
Thank you. I try to make sure my videos won't be so boring.
Encouraging! 😇💜
Thank you!
Thank you for the advice sir. I am a licensed architect and thinking to pursue law studies
Don't let anything stop you
Hi Dean, So Proud that I graduated from the University Of Caloocan City batch 2013. I took up AB Political Science and I watched this maybe this is a sign. ❤💪
There you go.! Go for it.!
I’m so glad to hear how old exactly you were when you started to attend law school!!! 28 pa po ako ngayon, but I’m thinking about attending next year which then magiging 29 na ako. Pareho po sa inyo. Salamat dean for this video!! Eto talaga hinanap kong marinig. Kaka-inspire po! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much Kevin. Go pursue your dream!
@@TheDeanLawChannel Thanks dean! :)
I'm 26 and about to graduate college. I feel too old already. Luckily I'm single with no children. I thought about starting a business, getting experience and saving money before going to law school.
I started at 29
I hope to be back here on this comment section soon as I become a lawyer, after I took my oath and signed the Role of an Attorney.
To God Be The Glory 🙏
(c) 2022
I hope so too! God Bless You.
Thank you for this, Dean. Maybe this is a sign from the universe to push through law school. But I know I am not that good when it comes to writing and memorization ot even grammar.I just wanna ask if it's a good idea to enroll for a weekend class (if there is any) rather rhan weekday class as a starter? Thank you 💜
Thank you for viewing. There are law schools that offer programs for working students. You can develop those skills eventually. I say follow that sign!
Well that's around the same age I am now that gives me hope cuz I'm thinking about going into law school
There you go Theo. Go for it!
Agree with your point s dean
Thanks Eric. I wish you good fortune! Thanks also for the view
Fritz Quinanola was a retired Col. in his late 50's when he enrolled first year law in USJR Cebu in 1990, graduate in 94 and passed the bar the same year and got admitted in the rolls. He was quiet popular as a trial lawyer back then. Not sure if he is still alive today.
There you go. Let him inspire you
I'm 30 and I'm planning to apply to lawschool this school yr. Thank you for this.
You can do it! Update me when you can
@The Dean thank you po 🥰
Thank you so much, Dean! My Law Professor shared one of your videos and now, every day I am watching your videos! I'm enjoying it while I'm learning. What book of English Literature would you recommend? Thank you in advance!
That is awesome! I appreciate your comments. As for the book, I would lawyer novels to get you inspired. Try to look for "Presumed Innocent"
Nice
You are nicer
Thank you, The Dean for your superb video. I guess the law is something new to me. I maybe will pursue it one day. I am deeply motivated by your video! I wasn't a major in law starting from my bachelor's, master's, and diploma and I guess maybe my path is to be an educator, etc since my major and minor are in education, in arts (English) and communication. I think the law path might be what I venture into/through one day once I have that path open for me as I think that path is still unavailable currently. I think I will be in my 30 plus maybe mid-30s if I study another new bachelor of law, which I think I might have to restart a new bachelor of law, which I think many will think why should I restart from the beginning? right now, I'm in my 29. I hope for your advice, The Dean. Thank you very much, The Dean.
Hi Teacher Sharon. Go for it. One of my pioneer batch lawyers is a DepEd high school teacher with both a Master and PhD in Education. It's never too late!
@@TheDeanLawChannel really? That will be so great if I can be a teacher and study law course. Hopefully! Thank you very much, @The Dean!!:D:D your pioneer was really great!!:D:D
@@TheDeanLawChannel actually I had being a teacher for two years plus!! Thank you for notifying my name and job!!:D:D by the way, I wish you the very best of luck in your legal/lawyer/law areas!!:D:D:D Hopefully, one day, I can be like @The Dean too!!:D:D:D
@@TheDeanLawChannel May I ask, what age your pioneer student starts to pursue his or her bachelor of law? Is it when he or she retired at the age of 55 or 60, which is retired from a high school teacher job, only then, he or she pursues law study from Dean? By the way, your pioneer student had a PhD, so, he or she should be called Dr as his/her first name, I think so.:D:D:D
@The Dean, may I have your answer?
I am thinking of going to Law School at ito lahat reason ko kung bakit alanganin ako. I am 31, married with 2 children, and working din, pero pangarap ko talaga. 🤧 pero dahil sa mga videos nyo na today ko lang napanood, gusto ko na talagang magenroll. 🙏
Nothing should stop you April.
1:27 Yeah!, Yeah! 😂😂 lol
Thanks for the view!
Hello Atty. Im 46 and contemplating on becoming a lawyer. Im an average student with 78% gwa. My age is actually stopping me from enrolling. Can’t memorize that efficiently.
You can at least try. Memorization can be helped by a good understanding. Maybe you can take some courses on reading comprehension or memory training.
@@TheDeanLawChannel that'd be a great help thnx po Atty!!
Did this guy just raise the roof in his pretend rage party. I need to go to his school
Never too late to apply! Rage on!
My fear is not getting a job as lawyer im 34 wouldnt anyone prefer soneone younger with experience. Im kind of lost in life time is ticking by 😢
You can always go solo practice.
Wow. I am 63, retired pharmacist. Should I try since I was told I would make a good lawyer since my teens and something I always wanted.
Of course! I have had a student older than you and was doing well
Sir you are my idol i hope i pass to your interview at ucc college of law😇
good luck!
Turning 40 and I also want to be a Lawyer, but have no undergraduate degree, due to some family circumstances didn't get a change to do bachelors and did only college-diploma in 20's...now going back to school for undergraduate and then law is Scary Dream to Me :( Not sure what to do?
I just accepted several 40+ and even one in is 70s
Hi Atty. I passed the Law school admission test pero di po ako tumuloy sa panel interview kasi nagdadalawang isip ako dahil sa financial constraints. Akala ko po kasi virtual or at least blended man lang ang classes pero f2f. Tapos grabe pa po ang effect ng inflation. Next year nalang po ako mag la-law school. By the way I'm 26 now. Nasasayangan po talaga ako pero baka hindi ko pa po time mag law school.
Hello Neeeccaniks, I totally understand. Take heart that you passed the admission test. And yes, you can start when the timing is right. Also, I started law school at 29... so, its really not too late
@@TheDeanLawChannel Salamat po sa words of encouragement. Ang tanong ko nalang po, ano po ang maganda kong gawin as preparation for next year. Nagbabalak po ako na mag self-study sa abot ng aking makakaya tulad ng panonood ng more than 3 hour lectures on persons and family relations dito sa UA-cam. At gusto ko rin kabisaduhin ang ilang articles ng civil code.
I would suggest read the constitution and the civil code. Read a law book on that subject and get used to the studying
@@TheDeanLawChannel I'll take a note of that po. Salamat po sa time para mag respond. Pagpalain po kayo ng Panginoon. 🙂
This is a sign🤞 please please please
Go for it!
I am contemplatinf of taking up law but im still hesitant due to me working and also my age. I'm turning 30 this year and i am working as a paralegal in a law firm. I'm also a registered Ch.E but i never really practiced my degree since i'm in a legal field now. Maybe in months of contemplating and preparing i hope i will be able to be fully ready.
I have students way older than you
Maraming salamat po sa video na ito sir. Pangarap ko po maging abogado at na-inspire po ako sa bidyo nyo po. Babalikan ko po itong bidyo na ito kapag abogado na po ako sir.
I wish you the best of luck!
Good luck!
I took up legal management in one of the most promising University in our country that produce great lawyers, but sadly I haven"t finish my college degree. Becoming a lawyer is my ultimate dream since high school. I am old now in my late thirty's and planning to pursue my college degree through distance learning with CHED accreditation. Question Atty: Does Law school accept student who obtain their bachelor degree from distance learning? Hope they will. Thank you.
Yes. As long as you are a graduate with a bachelor's degree. Just present a TOR to the school you applying to.
Because of my current dui charge. It makes me feel like maybe i should go into law. As I haven’t really found my place in life even at 31.
Go for it Jiggly!
I'm a public school teacher. English teacher, these past few months I've been contemplating to enter law. I really wanted to try, I don't know what to do.
Hi Princess, if that has been your dream then go for it. Nothing should stop you
Hi Atty! I am a Physician and thinking of taking up law, would this be an advantage or disadvantage? 40 year old, not married, but doing clinical practice. Thanks!
Advantage! Good luck to you and go for it!
Hello Dean I am by no means a very educated md or person who did well in school growing up. I am however a very motivated individual. I am not “stupid” but I am a little intimidated by everyone entering law school that have a great education and background. What type of advice can you give me??
Read Edgar. Keep reading. To be inspired, read lawyer novels
atty. I have a question. do you have to be a polsci or a legal management grad to be able to enroll to law school? I'm an animal science grad but I really want to know please your reply will be highly appreciated. thank you!
Technically, any degree shall make you eligible. You do have an interesting degree.
Hi Dean! After graduating and passing the bar, are the opportunities the same for young and older new lawyers? Are there no preference in age when it comes to work?
Hi Cherryl, great question. I cannot deny that age is a factor in hiring at the big law firms. The older one is, the more spectacular the law school performance. But working for the judiciary or national government, it won't matter.
Dean, how about advice/s for those who aspire to take the bar exams but have a low foundation in law school.
Keep reading. That will give you the best recall.
I plan on going to school online because I'm 39. I still have to get a degree but I still very much want to become a lawyer. Am I grasping at straws?
Not! Go for it!
I dreamed of becoming a lawyer ever since. But then due to financial prob i was not able to pursue. I will be turning 38 this month and my desire to be a lawyer is still there. Is it ok to pursue at my age now? Or should i give up?
Don't give up. Its your dream. (Not was). If time is an issue, some law schools have a working student program where classes are at night and on weekends. Pursue it.
How many of you who became a lawyer after 50 and actually have clients or got hired by a firm?
I know one! In the US pa
Why do we have law schools performing well at the bar exams and those at the other end of the spectrum?
Sadly, this is true. I think it's also the students who apply. But it has been changing in the last decade. Many schools in the province have been having top ten bar topnotchers.
Hi The Dean, hingin ko lang po sana opinyon nyo sa ASCOT College of Law (Aurora State College), they offer fulltime Online class kaya I'm trying to consider, kaso wla ako makitang reviews or feedbacks ng mga previous batch.
