THE LEGAL Education Board has awarded the Ateneo de Manila University for ranking first among law schools in the country.

The recognition came after the university was found to have produced the highest number of lawyers from 2011 to 2020.

LEB Commissioner Lorenzo Reyes and Rodrigo Sagum, head of the Standards Development and Regulatory Office,
presented the award to Ateneo Vice President for Higher Education Dr. Maria Luz Vilches and Dean of the Ateneo Law School Jose Maria Hofileña.

The award aims to give recognition to the top 10 law schools in the Philippines that have fulfilled the mandate of the law in contributing legal professionals to serve the country.

The award is intended to be given every five years.
