law school proposal no. 5
amend the curriculum.
1. Delete Introduction to Law. it is moot and academic. every subject discusses history of law. it doesn't need to be compiled in one subject.
Add Roman Law instead. it is more important to learn about the philosophy and history of the law. Just add canons of the legal profession on the last part.
Maintain the Legal Research subject. Add that to a combination of English for Lawyers and Legal Writing. separately, they are redundant.
2. Delete Introduction to Legal Ethics. it should be 3 unit subject. and it should be taught the semester immediately preceding the review for the bar.
3. Criminal Procedure should be a TWO unit subject. same with NIL and Credit Transactions. and Legal Medicine. that last one should be taught on the first semester of the fourth year.
4. Scrap the Practicum 1 and 2. Have an OJT the summer before the 4th year.
5. Admin Law, Election Law and Local Government, a THREE unit subject, should be divided into three, with THREE, TWO, and TWO units allotted respectively.
6.Electives.
Make Intellectual Property Law a Mandatory Subject for TWO units. Same with Environmental Law.
and when you post electives on the curriculum, DO allow students to choose what they want. otherwise, it is not something they 'elected'.
