Legal FAQ: WHERE TO WORK AS A LAWYER (lawyer jobs in the Philippines)

[@mariannesasing5032]

Hi Atty. Tina! Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me become more familiar with the common workplaces for lawyers. I'm currently a senior economics student and I really want to study the law and become a lawyer. I want to understand how the law works and how I can help make it work for the most vulnerable sectors of Filipino society, but I also want to involve myself in policy analysis and policy formation. More than defending clients in court (although I am also alright with taking that up at some point in my career), I want to believe that becoming a lawyer will help me become more involved in policy analysis, specifically in creating programs and policies that will help the poor and unemployed. But the people I know say that if I want to involve myself in policy analysis, then taking up a PhD in economics might be a better approach since lawyers only craft the wording of the policy, whereas economists directly contribute to the content of the policy itself. As I said, I am currently a senior student in economics, and I love economics. But I cannot see myself taking up a PhD in economics because it does not have the clearer and more direct humanistic component that I find in the law. A PhD and even a masters degree in economics will require a deep dive into numerical and econometric data that are all about the behavior of economic agents, while a law degree (at least to my knowledge) will require a deep dive into legal provisions and cases that are all about the actions and stories of real people. My plan is to take up a masters degree in policy analysis after I take up law so that I can get both of the things I want. In case I don't make it that far, I hope to still help vulnerable groups by practicing law in the public sector. I'm just not sure if I might have missed something in my initial plan. Do you think it's still a good idea for me to take up law, or should I just take up graduate economics instead? Thank you so much po!

Thank you so much for this. I am an incoming fourth year law student and these questions are what my friends and I usually thought of. Thank you in advance for answering! What to do after taking the Bar while waiting for the results? What do we expect after graduating or after taking the Bar? Lowest expected salary of a newly graduate law student?

[@TinaAmadorRobles]

1. Take a vacation! Cross things off your bucket list. Your life will never be the same after the results are released. Also, start updating your CV and cover letter! 2. Lots of job hunting (unless you’re in the top 1% or so of your batch)! 3. 20+K!

[@alydiaries]

Hi Atty. Tina! Great video! I am an aspiring lawyer and have been thinking about going to law school. I am specifically eyeing for UP College of Law, and my first step is to take and pass the LAE and get accepted, do you have tips and recommendations on how I can pass this and get accepted the first try, or how high or low are the chances of getting accepted? I have a Marketing degree, I don't know if that would be a factor or if my grades in college would. (I am still in the middle of my research about these things, hoping to get insights from you as a UP graduate) Thanks so much!

[@daph1989]

Nice vid Atty. Tina! I’m very interested to know more about why SC justices can recommend the lawyers that work under them for LLM abroad? Is that the only way for Filipino lawyers to study a master of laws? I want to take LLM after I finish law school din kasi.

[@dearfutureattorney6649]

I'm an aspiring Filipino-Canadian lawyer and I find it interesting to answer your question. Usually it is common to work abroad in US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Choose the English or Bilingual language countries. But english language countries are mostly preferred. It depends on their requirement if you wanted to be a lawyer in those countries and continent I've mentioned, you might be studying in their law school for year/s and pass the bar examination (only on the location where you studied) because the philippine bar is a different jursidiction to other countries.

Hi Franklin, yes, there are many that do! The firm I was a part of allowed us to come in when we wanted, but the unwritten rule was to come in before around 1030 am naman (to show the partners respect haha). But there are also a bunch that are strict about coming in at a certain (earlier) time. So do your research :)

Iam in a senior HS asking how about jobs for unlicense laywers? I wanna be a lawyer and Iam curious if how I didnt pass the exam, then what I will become? Am I useless in that case?

[@dearfutureattorney6649]

Hey there, of course you're not useless after all. You have different options, you can work with your college degree or apply in paralegals and law clerks if your college degree have acquired minimumum amount of requirements such as legal management coure (which have business laws, etc), or political science course (which covers constitutional law, etc.). For more advantage, you can migrate to other countries, my top suggested lists are in US, Canada, Australia, UK, and Norway (have a little research about the financial and the application process if you are interested). However, for overall, I suggest that you have to try it again and try it atleast until you passed the bar exam, have a determination and preseverance of aiming thay kind of dream. Be passionate, and I hope it helps.

[1] The minimum length of becoming a lawyer is 4 years but it depends on the law student because sometimes if you fail the bar examination, you have to study again and pass for the second time, and so on. [2] It must be any 4 year bachelor’s degree in arts or sciences with field of concentration: political science, logic, English, Spanish, history and economics. The minimum requirements to admit in Law School whether they provide PhiLSAT (Philippine Law School Asmission Test) or no any admission tests. It depends on the law school you want to study.

I have question po I am a grade 10 student and my parents are like telling me to not choose being a lawyer cause it takes like 9 years or 10 and its really hard daw po is that true?

[@dearfutureattorney6649]

It's true that becoming and being a lawyer is hard in reality, however, the years of studying is depending on the law student. Usually, the law study is only 4 years and the distinct reason why some of the law students who failed to pass the bar examination for the first time are studying for multiple and several years is because they must study again and pass the bar examination for the second or third time (it only limits up to third try), if you ever failed again, you will be a refresher and pass the bar examination for the fourth time and again and again, according to the Rules of Court of the Philippines.
