[LAW SCHOOL PHILIPPINES]What to Expect for Law School Entrance Exams and Interviews

A story is told in law schools in the Philippines, about this young man named Bob. He wanted to be a doctor and although he failed repeatedly to pass the National Medical Admission Test, or the NMAT, he insisted that he wanted to be a doctor. It came to a point that he went to court to insist on his right to be a doctor.

The Supreme Court, speaking through Justice Cruz answered that, “While every person is entitled to aspire to be a doctor, he does not have a constitutional right to be a doctor. This is true of any other calling in which the public interest is involved; and the closer the link, the longer the bridge to one's ambition.”

“A person cannot insist on being a physician if he will be a menace to his patients. If one who wants to be a lawyer may prove better as a plumber, he should be so advised and adviced. Of course, he may not be forced to be a plumber, but on the other hand he may not force his entry into the bar. By the same token, a student who has demonstrated promise as a pianist cannot be shunted aside to take a course in nursing, however appropriate this career may be for others.”

Laging panakot ng mga professor sa law school ang kwento na ito, na napapaloob sa kaso ng DECS vs. Roberto San Diego. In tonight’s episode, I’ll be sharing with you what to expect in your law school entrance exam. I’ll also be sharing what you can do to prepare for the interview.
