The Juris Doctor (J.D.) Program is a basic law degree for students who have undergraduate degrees in other disciplines and those who have studied law in civil law countries and in other jurisdictions. It entails a comprehensive study of general principles and basic legal theories through a systematic and analytical examination of Philippine laws and statutes vis-a-vis the Supreme Court’s interpretation thereof. Students are expected to read statutes and various case laws to fully understand and contextualize Philippine laws within our own legal and societal landscape.
