THE PAMANTASAN ng Lungsod ng Maynila joined the list of top performing law schools after it was ranked sixth best performing school in the 2019 Bar examinations.

The Legal Education Board, which supervises law schools in the Philippines, awarded a plaque of recognition to the PLM College of Law on November 11, 2020.

The school posted a 55.88% passing rate. Of the 2,103 Bar passers last year, 19 were PLM graduates.

The LEB acknowledged the hard work of the school’s faculty and staff in educating the country’s future lawyers.

“Congratulations, Dean George Garcia and to the faculty, students, and staff of the PLM College of Law, your efforts are now getting the results that your College truly deserves. The University takes pride in this recognition from the Legal Education Board and your continued adherence to excellence in serving the public interest,” University President Emmanuel Leyco said.

“This is indeed uplifting as the country continues to go through difficult times from the pandemic, economic dislocations and now, destructive typhoons. Thank you for making PLM prouder,” he added.

The PLM’s average passing rate in the Bar exams has been higher than the national average in the past couple of years.
