BAR-baric...

The whole UP Law community was in high spirits after the results of the 2005 Bar Exams came in. Three of the top ten came from UP Law. We got the first, fifth and seventh spots. Congratulations all around, especially to those who topped the bar.

Yey! Who tops the bar? UP TOPS THE BAR! We're the best law school in the Philippines!

Right...sure. Our overall passing rate this year is a measly 78%. Sorry folks, I don't mean to spoil your fun. But them's the hard facts partners. May mga "sumabit," or as some polite people I know put it, "minalas." 22% FAILED THE BAR EXAM.

Oh, by the way, UP Law is a "practice-oriented" law school. At least that's what our professors tell us.
