MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

I want to welcome your interest in the Lyceum of the Philippines University College of Law.

At Lyceum, you are assured that we are devoting our efforts every year to building on our past achievements and creating new opportunities for our students while remaining focused on our commitment to excellence in legal education. This is a law school founded on the realities of life’s challenges and anchored on the ethics of the profession.

Lawyers bear a great deal of special responsibilities entrusted into them by their clients. At the same time they owe loyalties not only to themselves but also to their colleagues, to their communities and to the administration of justice.

The program of the College of Law is designed to equip students with the basic knowledge and skills for achievement in many diverse areas. The following web pages devoted to the College of Law are a testament to our promise of a well-rounded legal education – one that involves not only learning substantive rules of law in different areas but one that also develops the legal reasoning and legal methods skills of the students.

The Lyceum of the Philippines University College of Law endeavors to develop the spirit, the ideals, and the ethical standard of its every alumnus.

The study of the law is a demanding passion and we will be there to assist you every step of the way.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

The study of law is a study in delicate balancing: between the state and the individual, between security and liberty, between the family and its members, between the corporation and its stakeholders, between due process and speedy trial, between law and equity, and between form and substance. In law school, balancing, however, is not confined to doctrine or dogma or to statute and jurisprudence. It is also developed as a skill in the student. Thus, in the course of life in the College of Law, the students will be taught how to balance the sense of risk versus caution and reserve, adherence to settled doctrine versus pushing beyond the frontiers of accepted knowledge, impatience with general principles versus patience with minute details, inertia versus rashness, and black-letter law versus the spirit of the law.

It is the ultimate aim of the Lyceum College of Law to develop a keen sense of balance in the law student so that, in practice, he will arrive at the proper balance between the competing values behind the law. It is through the development of this skill that we hope to produce good craftsmen who will also be good members of the larger society.
