Tips from Thomasian Lawyers and Law Students

[goldblood]

yup, not tonight. Ang SC kasi busy sa kung ano anong bagay sa mga panahong ito. Hays...sawang sawa nako sa tsismis. haha. Last yr pa, yan. Mabuti ka pa nga ang alam mo ay 27%, yung alam ko kasi 16% lang, but it could be higher daw after deliberations. I really dont know, people i know whom are working in SC as well as CA, iba iba rin ang sinasabi so might as well wait for that big day, its becoming unbearable for us though.

Thank you! I really have to make it, nakapila na papaaralin ko. (sighs)

Goodluck din sayo. God bless.

Hahaha. Ako rin no may mga papaaralin na dapat pero sabi ko hephep hindi na muna, magaaral pa ako, haha.

Yeah I know the feeling of waiting for the result to come out. Mas prolonging the agony lang sa Bar kasi ang tagal ng result. Eh sa CPA boards in less than 24 hours (16 hours during my time) may result na. Tulog ka lang paggising mo ayan na.


Pray pray pray ate -tere-

tere, hmm... Sige, pag-isipan.
Tatapusin ko muna ang Lia ko bago mag Com sa La Salle. Let's see what'll happen.
Ang nakikita ko kasing adv. ng LMG, exposed ka na sa law subjects. Magkakaroon ka na ng idea a.k.a. "Antibodies" para magkaroon ng kahit konting "immunity" sa Law proper.
Pero ewan, baka ako lang nakak-isip ng ganyang bagay. LOL!
Tska gusto ko mag practice Internationally, ayoko sa Pinas.
Pwede naman 'yun diba?

goldblood, LOL. ewan. Hindi kasi ako masyado sa Pera eh.
Tska sobra ang trauma na inabot ko sa mga Numbers. LOL. joke.

[goldblood]

lnel, believe me simple MDAS lang ang Accounting. Pa add add ka lang. It is how you understand the problem. Kaya English is the basic ingredient. Exposed ka rin sa Law pag Accountancy ka. Yung mga mahihirap pa na law ang nasa accountancy.

You decide on that. Good luck sayo.

[lneliouchiora]

goldblood, hindi nga?....
Baka naman sales talk lang 'yan ah...

LOL.

Let's see nalang.

BTW, i appreciate you calling me lnel kahit ngayon lang tayo nag meet. Kadalasan kasi ng mga bago kong kaututang-dila eh hinihika na kakatype ng pangalan ko. LOL.

Gais, Post lang kayo ng anything related to UST Law. Like, ano ba ang buhay sa UST Law School? Why UST Law? stuff like that...
It's just Curiosity on my part.

[goldblood]

lnel, hindi yan sales talk. Totoo yan.

LOL @ your name. Honestly, I can't read it at first glance.

I have friend of friends sa UST LAW, friendly daw UST sa working students. I mean, siguro not like other law schools na wala silang pakialam kung nagwowork ka and nagaaral concurrently.

Pero I would also like to try DLSU's new Law School. I heard meron na daw sila eh aside from the DLSU-FEU tie up on MBA-JD. Para ibang environment naman.

[goldblood]

^ hindi naman overused ang salitang "friend" dyan. *bop*

[lneliouchiora]

LOL. Ganun talaga, shocking ang pangalan ko at first glance.

Ano ba yung schedule ng mga working students?

Yep, meron na rin sa DLSU. Trimestral nga lang. Though ewan ko kung adv. or disv. 'yun sa'yo.

[goldblood]

Hmmm. Mukhang advantage. Mas mapapabilis.

Schedule usually 8am-5pm then 6pm-9pm for the law school.

May idea ka ba sa DLSU? Sa RCBC din ba sila like the MBA-JD or sa DLSU Main?

[haglervin]

Ma'am Tere question pa po ulit.
I don't have enough units in English and Social Science kasi sa undergraduate course ko.
Do you know anyone that had the same situation?
Which English subject/course do you think would be most helpful in my stay at Law School?
Thanks

[lneliouchiora]

6pm-9pm 'yung para sa working students?

Yung DLSU Law School, IINM, sa Taft campus siya. Yung MBA-JD ang sa RCBC.

Ang gusto ko sa DLSU Law eh madaming electives!

[goldblood]

Oh? Edi much better for me pag sa taft. Ayoko sa RCBC kasi feeling nasa workplace nanaman ako.

Anong mga electives? Baka naman hindi na kailangan sa Law school yan ah. haha

Do you have an idea how sa tuition fee per trimester?

[goldblood]

Do you have an idea how much ang tuition fee per trimester?

[lneliouchiora]

LOL. You can edit your previous post for corrections. Posting another is unnecessary.

Well, wala pa daw list ng electives. Pero madami siya! 8 ang included.
Well, hindi naman siya kailangan sa Bar talaga pero it will make you holistic. Well, yun ang nagustuhan ko. Added knowledge kasi. Tska If ever I'll take law, hindi ako mag coconcentrate ng practice sa Pinas.

Hmm, we are veering away from the topic. It's much better if we talk about DLSU law on the DLSU sub-forum.

[goldblood]

Ah pwede pala iedit? I just figured nun sinabi mo na pwede. haha.

Yeah out of the topic na. Mukhang wala pang nagagawi dito from UST FCL aside from Ate -tere-.

[lneliouchiora]

Yep, pwede i-edit.

Aside from tere, alam ko si Batas Tomasino eh from Civil law din. Hindi pa siya nagpaparamdam ngayon, busy ata.

[-teRe-]

hayz...what the hell is wrong with my net connection? now ko lang nabasa lahat ng responses nyo..lintek. lols kaya eto karirin ang response ko. haha.

lnel

hindi mo kelangan magkaron ng antibody\ies sa lawskul, whether you like or not..titibay ang dibdib mo sa dami ng humiliations that you'll go through. Basta pasok sa isang tenga, then labas sa kabila. Wag damdamin ang mga panlalait kahit sagad hanggang buto.

Besides, kahit meron ka ng idea sa law school subjects, iba pa rin ang turo at training sa law school, ibang iba talaga. I took up PolSci in my undergrad then proceeded to law, pero i would have wanted to take up accountancy, natakot lang ako sa numbers. Im good in analyzing pero pag sinamahan mo ng numbers...patay na. haha. I realize i didnt really gain much, same thing..Polsci then law proper, in the end halos pareho lang din naman. But its your choice anyways.

Dont worry, we have the same plan too. my plan is to practice internationally too. Get my title here, then study abroad then take the state bar. I think one of the requirement is one should be a lawyer here first before one can take the state bar in the US.

So go ahead and weigh your options. Goodluck!

Im a member of batas tomasino..baka kilala ko siya. hehe.

goldblood

i was a working student too alam mo, for 2 years, i must say, it was hell for me, but i was able to handle it, mahirap super pero walang mahirap sa taong determinado, my piece of advice to you.
Mabait naman si Dean Divina eh, actually he's my fraternity brod. Just talk to him, make him understand your situation.

[-teRe-]

its ok, you dont have to call me ma'am.

ive been in that same situation before, kulang ako ng 3 units of english, the civil law registrar wanted me to take another english subject worth 3 units, syempre ayoko noh, una sayang sa pera to think na polsci major na nga ko then im still not fit to take up law? so what i did was i went to my undergrad school then pinacredit ko yung LIT 1 subject ko as english subject kasi english naman talaga ang medium when it was taught. I asked for a certification our college registrar to certify it as such, then i gave the cert to the civil law registrar, then ok na.

in your case, if you can do the same thing, gawin mo, so u dont need to take another subject again, otw, you dont have a choice but to take those subjects to complete the required number of units. Advice ko sayo, whenever may papareceive kang doc sa civil law registrar or kahit kanino pa man sa ust, always have your receiving copy and let them signed on it as proof that you have submitted such doc, lalo na sa civil law reg at dyan sa civil law office mawalain sila palagi.

any english subj which is related to communication will be ok to help you in your stay in the faculty. The most important thing is "GRAMMAR". Wrong sentence construction is a big NO in the faculty lalo na kay Dean Aligada.

DOnt worry..mababait naman ang mga thomasian law students. you can ask for help sa mga senior years. That's a good thing in ust..compassionate kami.

Galingan mo ha? GOODLUCK!

[-teRe-]

Hahaha. Ako rin no may mga papaaralin na dapat pero sabi ko hephep hindi na muna, magaaral pa ako, haha.

Pray pray pray ate -tere-

madami sila..lagpas sampu ang papaaralin ko, how will i do it? i dont really know. all i can say is "super goodluck sa buhay ko"! lols. Thats why i really need to pass the bar. Lord grant me, please...

The trouble with the bar exam is mano mano ang pagcheck, kaya napakatagal ng result. Isa pa, checking is very subjective kasi it all depends sa examiner, kahit tama ang sagot mo, pag badtrip sya the time he/she checked your paper, chances are pwede ka nyang malian. Isa pa, pwede kaming bumagsak dahil sa simpleng wrong grammar lang at pangit na penmanship, or worse sa bad mood ng examiner while he was checking the papers. Unlike in other board exams, computerized ang checking, isasalang lang sa machine, then presto the results are out. Besides, pag wala ka na talaga alam, pwede kang manghula ng letter of choice, which is not the same sa bar exam, you need to explain well everything, every word you put there kahit conjunction kelangan pag isipan.

hey guys, i don't mean to discourage you..im just preparing you for the battle. It's worth it believe me.

Pls pray for me.

Okay Miss Tere nalang (Di pwede Ate Tere malamang mas matanda ako sayo e.)
Anyways, maybe I'll just check what subjects in english I can take up during summer that can help me improve on my grammar and communication skills because I’m really poor at those (obviously). . I’m an Engineer kasi (If that may justify my poor english). Just kidding. Btw, thanks sa mga posts. Sana madami pa magpost kasi nakakaexcite lalo.

ahaha. ok lang ms. tere basta wag ma'am, feeling ko ang galing galing ko. di naman. hindi mo ba talaga pwede gawan ng paran yung english at socsci mo so u dont need to take up subjects this summer, sayang naman sa pera at sa time. hay naku..matututo ka sa law school ng proper grammar whether you like or not.

anong specialization mo as an engr? ay alam mo ba may law student kami before shes was in her 40's already pero nag aral pa rin sya, i just dont think she finished law kasi hindi ko na sya nakikita nun sa ust.

anyways, galingan mo, just be humble, yun kasi ang prob sa first yr law students, they think they know everything, sa law skul walang magaling kundi ang professors lang. haha. totoo yun. Goodluck!
