Legal Education Board OKs limited in-person classes for law schools
MANILA, Philippines—The Legal Education Board (LEB) on Thursday announced that limited in-person classes are now allowed in all law schools in the country except in areas under Alert Levels 4 and 5.
In a statement, the LEB said legal education institutions (LEIs) are not required to shift to face-to-face classes.
However, legal education institutions that wish to do so only need to formally notify the LEB. The LEB added that legal education institutions can also choose flexible learning.

“Continuous monitoring will also be conducted to ensure health and safety are the priority,” the LEB added.
