In the Philippines, the success of a law school is measured mainly on the consistent performance of its graduates in the bar examinations, With the bar passing percentage used as a benchmark, students wanting to apply for law school, law firms looking for prospective associates, and even graduate schools, normally look at the passing percentage of the law school in the bar. The Bar examinations is the licensure examination administered to graduates with the degrees of either Bachelor of Laws or Jurist Doctors. Administered every year by the Supreme Court of the Philippines over the four Sundays of September, the bar examination has thus earned the reputation of being the most pressure packed professional examination. An average of around 4,400 bar examinees take the bar examinations every year in the hope of becoming lawyers six months later when the results are released.
