Aren't you excited about this?

Waiting for results

How about University of Mindanao College of Law? I guess it's about time that my school will have a topnotcher in the Bar Exam. Who knows? We'll find out in about four weeks time.

Bar Matter 2265: Reforms on the Philippine Bar Examinations

 Here's what everybody is talking about: the Bar Examinations with Multiple Choice Questions.

Bar Matter No. 2265

Safer Internet Dating

The Philippines may not have enough legislation about safer internet dating. In 1990, Republic Act 6955 was enacted by the Philippine Congress. However, during this time, there was still no internet, thus, no internet dating. What was rampant (if "rampant" is the proper term) is the proliferation of "pen-pals."

RA 6955: AN ACT TO DECLARE UNLAWFUL THE PRACTICE OF MATCHING FILIPINO WOMEN FOR MARRIAGE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS ON A MAIL ORDER BASIS AND OTHER SIMILAR PRACTICES, INCLUDING THE ADVERTISEMENT, PUBLICATION, PRINTING OR DISTRIBUTION OF BROCHURES, FLIERS AND OTHER PROPAGANDA MATERIALS IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF AND PROVIDING PENALTY THEREFORE.

The foregoing legislation has prohibited mail order brides. This may cover internet or online dating but such legislation is apparently outdated.

States like New Jersey and New York have passed legislations about internet dating. New Jersey's Internet Dating Safety Act requires these internet dating service providers to pay membership fees so that they can conduct background checks (including criminal history) and provide information and notification to its members about the risks of internet dating. Both New Jersey and New York laws have mandated internet dating service providers to provide minimum safety awareness notification designed to increase awareness of safer dating practices in a clear and conspicuous manner.

Are these statutes enough to protect both men and women from possible exploitation and fraud? Well, it takes a lot of risks. However, there are tools that you can use such as websites like consumer-rankings which provide product ratings and reviews, including best dating sites.Want to know how they do it? Perfectmatch.com reviews is an example. 

San Beda Pre-Bar Review 2011

Hello lawstudents! I'm back with good information. For those asking about San Beda's pre-bar review for 2011, here's the link to their website.

• Review classes will start on April 11, 2011.
• Enrollment is already ongoing.
• Registration fee is P15,000.00 inclusive of review materials, case digest, and use of their library. Red Notes NOT included.
• 2011 MOCK BAR EXAM on August 8,9,10,11,12. I don't know if the registration fee covers the cost of the Mock Bar Exam. Last year, we did not have mock bar in San Beda.

Note: It has been announced and on the news that the Bar Examinations will be moved from September to November. I am not sure if the review schools will be adjusting their review classes to fill the two-month void due to the changes in the schedule of the Bar Examinations. There's also a new venue: University of Sto. Tomas (UST). 

Just watch out for rain 'cause UST is flood-prone.

Hello 2011

Happy New Year! It's 2011 and I'm kind of behind from posting in my blog. Anyway, I'll be updating soon so just keep posted.

Posting from Manila

I wish I could post all my notes in here. I almost filled up my entire notebook during the first week of review classes.. Yes, I have the tendency to write almost everything the lecturer says... Hahahahaha!

My Law School Ends

It's been four years, four long years of intertwined hardships and fun, but as they all say, everything must come to an end. I am not writing this article to bid goodbye. Lawschoolfunk.com would remain in the blogosphere for as long as my credit card is alive (hahaha!)...

Anyway, I hate saying "Goodbye Lawschool" though I'm happy to leave...
