Makati City Mayor Abby Binay announced on Thursday that the University of Makati School of Law emerged on top among law schools in the country with 50 or fewer Bar exam takers, after posting a 94.12 percent passing rate in the September 2023 Bar examinations as ranked by the Supreme Court.
In 2021, the school topped the list of schools with 10 Bar exam takers and below after its pioneer batch of nine examinees achieved a 100-percent passing rate and last year, UMak SOL ranked second in the category after posting an 88.89 percent passing rate, with eight Bar passers out of nine examinees.
Binay said the law school's ranking is an affirmation of Makati's commitment to educational excellence that is reflected in the quality of legal education being provided by the UMak School of Law.
"I believe no one could be prouder today than my father, who initiated the establishment of this institution some six years ago," Binay said.
Through the initiative of former Vice President Jejomar Binay, the UMak School of Law was established during the first term of Mayor Abby Binay on 7 August 2017 and for the past six years, it has continuously provided full scholarships to qualified Juris Doctor program applicants from all over the country, supported and funded by the City Government of Makati.
