Netizens hail Christian Lawyer for passing bar
Quality of instruction
Asked about the declining rate of successful examinees, Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno said the quality of teaching in law schools deserves more attention.
“I think what should be the concern of everybody, especially law schools, is whether the quality of instruction is improving (on) all levels,” Sereno said on the sidelines of a business forum in Makati City on Thursday.
“This is a matter that law school deans need to look at because we cannot allow applicants who are unable to answer very basic questions, and who aren’t able to articulate (themselves) in an appropriate fashion,” she added.
Sereno had earlier said reforms were underway on the composition of the bar exams, an extensive test conducted over four weekends which covers various aspects of law practice.
The chief magistrate called on heads of law schools to review the quality of courses they offer and the qualification of their faculty members.
