LOOK: FULL LIST OF PASSERS OF THE 2019 PHILIPPINE BAR EXAMS, A-Z | #BAR2019

The 2019 Bar Examinations were held at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in Manila on the four Sundays of November 2019. #Bar2019 was chaired by Senior Associate Justice Estela M. Perlas-Bernabe.

Of the 8,304 who filed petitions to take the Bar, only 8,245 took it and only 7,699 finished on all four Sundays of the exams.

Unlike the announcement traditions in recent years, though, this year's announcement was all done online and posted on the Supreme Court's website. This is in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the need to restrict crowd gatherings in order to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Bar examinees and their friends will need to have strong and reliable Internet connection to view the Chairperson's message, as well as the long-awaited List of Bar Passers.

In previous years, the Supreme Court normally had a platform on its patio in Padre Faura, Manila, with a giant LCD screen where the names of passers were flashed. Crowds consisting of bar examinees, their families, and friends gathered in this area to take part in this very public event, which was covered extensively by the Bar-obsessed media.

Congratulations to the passers of the 2019 Philippine Bar Exams!

Should law students take a leave of absence until the COVID-19 pandemic ends?

For many, the abrupt shift to digital learning due to the pandemic is a novel concept that is particularly difficult to adjust to. This is more pronounced among law students, where daily physical interactions with classmates and professors are necessary in fostering a robust academic experience [. . .]

So you took the Bar Exams and failed. Now what?

Failing the Bar constitutes an abysmal point in any law graduate's life. It can trigger a lot of negative things, which is why it is very important that Bar examinees should have a support system to cling on to in the event of failure [. . .]

Bar review season pitfalls and tips to make reviewing for the Bar Exams less stressful

The Bar Exam review season is when reviewees try to conjur everything they have learned in law school and condense everything into neat mental folders easily retrievable when needed. Doing so requires focus, concentration, determination, and wise use of resources, particularly time and money [. . .]

The lowdown on law school entrance exams: Top 3 law schools in the Philippines

The top three law schools in the Philippines by reputation, quality of their alumni, and passing rate in the Bar exams are the College of Law of the University of the Philippines in Quezon City, the Ateneo School of Law in Makati, and the College of Law of the San Beda University in Manila. Each year these schools manage to attract graduates from all over the Philippines. As such, competition for slots in any of these schools is intense [. . .]

The Filipino law student's guide to scoring law textbooks on the cheap

Law books are often thick and heavy tomes of specialized legal information, mostly annotations of laws or statutes with a discussion of existing jurisprudence. They can be very intimidating. Even worse, they are bound to punch a gaping hole in your wallet [. . .]

To digest or not to digest -- that's the question

Relying on digests spares one the trouble of having to go through the case itself, identifying relevant facts, determining key issues, and analyzing the court's rationale in coming up with its decision [. . .]
