SC declares law school admission exam unconstitutional

In a decision dated September 10, the SC said that while the LEB may set an aptitude test as a minimum standard for legal education, it has no authority to impose the current Philippine Law School Admission Test , which, as a pass or fail exam, “dictates upon law schools who among the examinees are to be admitted to any law program.”

The SC also struck down LEB’s memoranda dictating qualifications and classifications of faculty members, deans and deans of graduate schools of law in violation of institutional academic freedom of who may teach, as well as LEB’s policies on legal apprenticeship and legal internship programs in violation of institutional academic freedom of what to teach.

Two groups had filed separate petitions before the high court questioning the validity of Republic Act 7662, the law which created the LEB, and the LEB issuances imposing PhiLSAT.
