[LAW SCHOOL PHILIPPINES] Difference Between LLB and JD Programs for Law Schools in the Philippines

One of the most common questions I get from prospective law students coming fresh from the PHILSAT, is the distinction between the LLB, or Bachelor of Laws degree, and the Juris Doctor program offered by Ateneo, by Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila and other law schools in the Philippines.

Completion of both degrees will allow you to take the bar exams. The Supreme Court does not require or discriminate against which of the two is better. The LLB program is pretty standard and has been with us for over a hundred years. The Juris Doctor, on the hand, has been introduced sometime in the 90s and has been with us for roughly 30 years. Both of them will qualify you for the Bar Exams.
