“To my mind, the four year (or more) law study of a Bar
candidate is more than sufficient to at least hurdle the Bar,
if not top it. But that is on the assumption that the Bar
aspirant has been a diligent law student, meaning he/she
has religiously studied every subject of the course.
I made this to be of help to law graduates who will be
taking the Bar in the near future. All of them for sure know
the law. After all, perhaps it would be safe to presume, that
they will not graduate if they did not deserve to. Taking the
Bar and answering every question given by the Honorable
Bar examiners are not based solely in knowing the law.
I think that you will agree with me that it is more of
HOW TO EFFECTIVELY CONVEY
to the examiner (thru the test booklet answers) that the Bar
candidate knows the applicable law and how should it be
properly applied in the given scenario. Appropriate usage
of introductory words and statements are great factors, to
the point I guess that it would appear that as if we know
the law, when in truth and in fact,
we do not or that we have forgotten the same
Let’s admit it, it is hard to know all the answers in a given
Bar exam. Well, that is perfectly normal.
But do not ever get discouraged.
Familiarize yourself with these introductory lines…
Answering the Bar will then flow smoothly as it should be.”
- Atty. Rey C. Tatad, Jr.
WHY READ THIS?
Imagine a test booklet with same introductory answer “The law provides” from
answer to question no. 1 to answer to the nth question. It is boring to read right? If you
are the one who will check such test booklet, chances are, your enthusiasm in
checking it might lessen as you go about the docket of booklets
Hence, these useful introductory lines were culled from Supreme Court decided
cases and compiled for anybody’s consumption.
