Mindanao university ordered to close law programs

-
  The Legal Education Board (LEB) has ordered the Mindanao State University to close its law programs in all its campuses starting academic year 2025-2026 after it approved a resolution canceling MSU’s accreditation. The order stemmed from MSU’s refusal to recognize LEB’s supervisory authority and for asserting that it is not bound by the board’s orders, policies and guidelines on legal education. “The MSU is no longer authorized to offer the basic law program in the country,”  the LEB said. The board made permanent the cease and desist order it issued against MSU’s extension law programs on its campuses in Tawi-Tawi, Sulu and Maguindanao. It expressed concern over what it described as MSU’s “dismal” performance in the Bar examinations, noting the school’s passing rate since 2013 has been below the national passing percentage.

 PRESS RELEASE | Hiring of 178 new public attorneys makes justice, legal services more inclusive – Remulla



Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” C. Remulla is eagerly anticipating the hiring of new additional lawyers for the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) to boost the services of the agency for the benefit of more unprivileged Filipinos in need of legal representation, aid and counselling.


This comes after the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved the creation of 178 new Public Attorney (PA) positions across the country.


Under the new plantilla, there will be 122 PA I and 56 PA 2 positions to be designated in different PAO offices nationwide requiring an annual budget of P336-million.


This positive development in the country’s legal system is part of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.’s Bagong Pilipinas governance campaign to assure that no Filipino will be left behind towards the nation’s path to progress.


“Gone are the days when some may think that access to justice in the Philippines is exclusively for the wealthy. Today, under the Bagong Pilipinas political vision, we level the playing field between the rich and the poor in terms of having access to legal services,” the Secretary underscored.


“I also would like to extend my appreciation to Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman in going the extra mile to address the legal needs of our country,” said Sec Remulla.
