📌 9th Cycle of UMak Admission Interviews
Since welcoming its pioneer batch under the Juris Doctor Program on 07 August 2017, the University of Makati School of Law (UMak SOL)has remained committed to its vision of becoming one of the country’s leading institutions for legal education, producing future lawyers grounded in competence, fairness, public service, and the protection of rights.
In line with this mission of forming capable and service-oriented lawyers, UMak SOL continues its tradition of carefully selecting the next generation of scholars who will carry its values into the legal profession. On its 9th cycle of admission interviews, the School of Law has already produced 91 lawyers, all of whom once went through the same panel interview with the Deans and the faculty of UMak SOL.
In the panel interview, applicants are assessed not just through academic credentials, but through their grit, character, and determination. More than intelligence, the interview reflects an applicant’s commitment to making the most of the opportunity to study law through the scholarship program provided by the City Government of Makati.
For this month of May, the Executive Dean, Atty. Jose M. Layug, Jr., and Associate Dean, Atty. Antony J. Parreno, together with the faculty, undertake the vital task of selecting the next batch of UMak SOL scholars.
This cycle, the University of Makati School of Law extends its sincere appreciation to the distinguished panel of interviewers whose service, time, expertise, and insights greatly contribute to the selection process and the continued pursuit of excellence in legal education: Justice Selma P. Alaras, Judge Joselito B. Villarosa, Atty. Rodolfo Noel S. Quimbo, Atty. Raymond G. Pasiliao, Atty. Angel Chona Grace I. Valero-Nunez, Atty. Mikaela Andrea C. Cuacoyes, Atty. Demetrio A. Cabulay, Jr., Atty. Ferlan L. Farinas, Atty. Mia Angela B. Royulada, and Atty. Naomi Angel O. Caparal.
