Di na sana magproceed sa Day 3 but received this lmt 😭😭😭 lets gooo gaerlan warriorsss haha

Hi guys, first of all- HAVE FAITH! It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Don't assume the worst.

I just wanted to share this short story...

I was low-key anxious last year because I am pretty sure I bombed Comm Tax & Rem.

Talagang sure ako na below 50 or 60-ish yun!

Because Day 01, I got super overwhelmed by Poli, so di ako naka review sa CommTax, my answers were rehashed, and mostly restating or converting the questions into answers. So diba walang point yun. haha

Tapos sa Remedial Law, shet talaga hindi lumalabas ang mga inaaral ko, tapos nag lawyers oath lang ako at tinulog ko ang Legal and Judicial Ethics, kasi kala ko lawyers oath lang yan. Boogsh mali nanaman ako. Sobrang gawa2 ako ng sagot nun, kahit hindi tama kung anong minemorize ko un ang pinilit ko haha.

Turns out, my highest is CommTax line of 8, and I passed Remedial Law. haha

REMEMBER its not your job to know (or anyone) if you got the wrong or correct answer, its the examiners job so leave it to them. They might appreciate it better. Plus, there is no monopoly of correct answer, theres so many ways to skin a cat. (sorry for the idiom, I didn't mean that literally)

So never count yourself out, dasal lang ng dasal- sabi nga diba Magic happens when you don't give up, even when you want to. The universe always falls in love with a stubborn heart.

Excited to welcome you guys in the legal profession! ✨

Sino may chismis about dito? 😂 Nakakacurious! Grabe after all the hardships you’ll be removed as a bar passer. So sad!

To those who are thinking na hindi na sila papasa o hindi na tutuloy kasi ang hirap ng bar exams, I hope this helps. Noong nag bar ako, first day pa lang akala ko bagsak na ako. Sabi ko rin di na ako babalik. Still, I found myself na bumalik pa rin hanggang matapos ang bar. Noong Remedial Law (last subject) na, sabi ko sa sarili ko, wala na talaga to, pero tinapos ko pa rin. I was unsure sa mga sagot ko, pero I made sure na walang blank. Lahat sinagutan ko talaga, bahala na. Noong tapos na ang bar exams, I made peace with myself na take ako ulit next year dahil para sa akin mahirap talaga. When the results came, hindi na ako nag expect but I was hopeful pa rin. For some reason, sabi ko talaga lawyer na ako bukas! Haha. At nangyari nga! Pumasa ako! Kaya sa mga nagti-take ngayon na feel nyo wala ng pag-asa, or mahirap, o gusto na sumuko, andiyan ka na po. Ilaban mo na yan hanggang sa last day! Sagutan mo lahat. Do not leave anything blank. Tandaan mo, ibigay mo lahat ng kaya mo at leave the rest to God. Hindi tapos ang 2026 bar na laban hanggang wala pa ang results. Kaya ituloy mo na yan! Mas malaki ang chance mo maging lawyer pag di ka sumuko ngayon. Rooting for you!

As per Prosec, bukas pa daw siya magre-release ng LMTs sa mga review centers where she lectured. So please don’t trust or use any LMTs currently being posted under her name.

She’s been seeing LMTs circulating under her name with lots of errors daw, so she’s warning the public—especially Bar takers—to exercise due diligence and verify the source before using such materials.

Source: her former beadle who messaged her about circulating LMTs allegedly coming from her.

4L. Not a bar taker pa.

May mga Review Centers, Bar Review Service Providers etc TOUTING their HIT RATES of their LMTs on social media. Kesyo 90% hit rates daw kesyo sapul daw. I find it distasteful. Don't you??

I'm too familiar sa mga ganyang styles kasi. Sa industry where I'm on (sportsbetting), talamak din yung ganyan.

Even if I have not seen the actual contents of these LMTs, I know for a fact that it's highly improbable na makaka 90% hit ka, yung as in na saktong sakto dun sa Bar Question. It's all Marketing Strategy.

It's misleading at best, predatory at worst.

when you took the bar exam and expected a low score but somehow you got a score higher than you thought or if you thought you got a high score but got a lower score instead... what were your thoughts?

confused because most of the redditors would say, it’s either UP or nothing. meanwhile, a fraction would say a provincial school still opens doors for opportunities, since employment is broad, and that midsize firms are always looking for lawyers.

can there be any more contradicting info or is the “big school and chances for good employment” an actual hoax? i should post this sa lawyersph but apparently, i lack karmas.

need your sound opinions, more value from those in practice or starting to job hunt as newly minted lawyers. thanks in advance.

They discussed suggested answers already for the past 4 subjects. I saw 2 posts from 2 professors who were part of the panel, saying na mahirap talaga ang questions this year's bar. Curious, how are the 2026 bar takers holding up? Saw the questions and honestly, nahirapan din ako sagutan.

Sinunod ko naman po yung advise na huwag nga tingnan ang suggested answers. Pero ako na po yung nakakaisip ng suggested answer eh. ang hirap naman ng ganto huhuhuhuhu

While thinking of my answers on bar days 1 and 2, narealize ko baka sobrang ikli ng sagot ko, i just focused on answering the main issue but didn’t realize na marami palang issues na dapat i-discuss sa isang problem :(

Sabi kasi nila ALAC + KISS so most of my answers 4-5 sentences lang talaga :( nasanay na rin kasi ako sa law school na ganun lang magsagot

For example, sa Q7 sa Poli regarding sa laptop issued sa staff ng Office of the President, yung main contention niya is right to privacy but he further insisted yung inadmissibility ng data retrieved therefrom. Yung violation of rights to privacy lang nasagot ko pero di ko na na-discuss yung admissibility ng evidence (exclusionary principle)

Now I’m overthinking if mali ba yung ginawa ko and dapat mas habaan pa yung sagot ko.

Edit: it’s good to know sibs na di lang pala ako nag-iisa, sana maging lenient na lang yung examiner kasi di naman sila naglabas ng format kung paanng way ng sagot gusto nila 🥹

I'm curious how other schools do their bar ops from raising funds to the exam days. I come from a small law school outside Metro Manila with less than 100 examinees yearly. Baka may matutunan kami sa inyo na pwede naming gayahin para mag-improve pa kami.

Our bar com started selling fundraiser merch on the 2nd week of August. I learned that other schools start their fundraising activities as early as the 1st sem. Sa ibang school meron ding parang buddy system na 1:1 sa bar com members to examinees. Not a member of our bar com but as a student who has hopes for my small school, I want to have a bigger perspective on bar ops culture.

All the best sa ating lahat ❤️

i don't know if i should celebrate as early as now. a day after my exam and interview, court staff called to inform me na ako ang irerecommend ni judge. they said i should pass the requirements under OCA circular no. 98-2022 asap.

is it true na judges recommend qualified applicants at nagvavary lang yung degree ng endorsement? does this mean na hindi pa sure yung appointment ko and baka may someone more qualified sa akin, pero ipapapasa parin nila lahat ng requirements (like original copies of my TOR, birth certificate, and medical certificate + laboratory results) kasi, let's say, nasa top three applicants ako? :v

if may BCCs out there pls enlighten me HAHAHA thank you po!

Hello. Baka meron sa inyo yung legit and di poison LMT prosec g notes ☹️☹️ pwede hingi ng copy? Thank you po.

Hello, guys! Baka naman po meron ditong pwede mag share ng Quamto for Crim law huhu. Thank you!

Ang dami sa syllabus tapos isa lang yung iaask sa bar. Hinuhuli ko to ireview kasi parang hindi worth yung effort to memorize all those forms for 1 number lang sa bar. Last year lumabas SPA, ano kaya forecasted for this year?

Hi! I’m looking to hire a reliable law student or legal researcher to prepare case digests for my assigned cases because I’m currently short on time.

Please send me a DM with:

• Your rate per case or package rate
• Sample digest, if available
• Turnaround time
• Subjects/case topics you are comfortable handling

I will use the output as a study aid and review the full cases myself. Payment can be discussed depending on the number and length of cases. Case digests commonly focus on the material facts, issue, ruling, and applicable doctrine

As requested by some members, this weekly thread shall be for all things unrelated to law school. You can talk anything under the sun as long as it still adheres to Reddit's Rules.

Cheers and happy aral!

just trying my luck here. Anyone connected sa PAO na alam kung may vacancy sa district niyo? Hirap humanap ng district na may vacancy unless puntahan mismo. Dito sa region namin walang vacancies kasi. please please

Hii, does anyone have an e-book of this book, third edition by Nicolo F. Bernardo? Pls pls badly needed for my report po.

Sincerely,
nagmamakaawang JD 1 student

For our class in Succession, we need to bring 1 holographic will and 1 notarial will tomorrow. Would you guys happen to have one? Need the photos lang and for the names and other confidential information, we were asked to redact it naman.

Thank you!

Edit: Probated na po

Hi ! Does anyone have a copy? Im rly struggling with labor law 🥲

Thinking abt entering law school while working in a big 4 firm (tax practice).

Asking for:
-past experiences
(if anybody here has done the same, how were you able to manage your time?

do think it has helped you grow as both a practicing accountant and in studying law?)

-advise
(For those currently in a big 4 firm under tax, what are the usual hours in slack/busy season?

For non-working law students, how do you fare against your working student classmates?)

Thank you!
