(Eagle News)–The Supreme Court has temporarily stopped the Legal Education Board from requiring aspiring law students to pass a nationwide law school entrance exam before studying law.
The SC issued the temporary restraining order on the implementation of the LEB’s memorandum number 7, which was assailed by two consolidated petitions, pending the resolution of the main case.
LEB Memorandum No. 7 says an aspiring law student cannot be admitted into a law school unless he or she passed the Philippine Law School Admission Test.
The passing score of the test is 55 percent.
The consolidated petitions had argued it was the Supreme Court that should administer any law school admission test, and that the law that created the LEB was unconstitutional in the first place.
