Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa, an associate justice and the head of Bar 2022, revealed the outcomes.

She also expressed gratitude to the College of Law’s faculty, which is directed by Atty. Brian Jay Corpuz, for preparing and producing graduates who are ready for the bar exam and the profession of law.

According to Agrupis, “This accomplishment only shows that MMSU is maintaining its stature as one of the top law schools in the nation.”

In the list of top-performing law schools with 11–50 examinees, MMSU came in #1 with a 100% passing percentage on the 2020–2021 Bar Examinations.

Its two grads were likewise praised for their outstanding performance. In 2018 and 2019, the university also distinguished itself as a top-performing law school.

Malasig was one of the fortunate 13 graduates of the privately managed Northwestern University in Laoag City and the recently elected vice president of the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative Board of Directors.

Those who serve others and the poor

A labor organization, meanwhile, urged the nation’s new lawyers to be motivated by those who made the effort to assist workers and the less fortunate.

The Federation of Free Workers (FFW) said in a statement that the new generation of attorneys should use their position to promote social reforms.

“As you begin your legal profession, never forget the value of helping the underprivileged and the working class. Take courage from leaders like Marvic Leonen, Lee Kuan Yew, Tony Blair, and Barack Obama who began their careers as advocates for the weak before rising to prominence in their nations and improving the lives of common people, the organization advised.

“You have the ability to affect change and have a significant impact on society as a lawyer. Use your knowledge and abilities to speak up for those who need it most, and work to make the world more just and equitable, it continued.

The FFW also hopes that they would assist workers who are having issues with their employers.

Equally, we urge you to represent unjustly fired employees pro bono before the National Labor Relations Commission’s (NLRC) arbitration section. As attorneys, it is our responsibility to make sure that workers’ rights are upheld, that they receive the proper compensation and benefits and that they are given the justice they are due.

“To all new attorneys, welcome to the field of law. We hope to see you soon in court acting as counsel for the petitioner or defendant, the defense or prosecution, and advancing justice in society. Good luck on your new trip and congratulations,” it said.

The club also expressed its best wishes for future success to individuals who failed this year’s examinations.

“Be inspired by people like Claro M. Recto, Leni Robredo, Michelle Obama, or Hillary Clinton who first failed in their legal professions but ultimately excelled. Utilize this opportunity to grow, learn, and return stronger than ever in the future. You can accomplish your goals if you have the necessary perseverance and tenacity, it said.
