Summary

Description
English: University of the Philippines College of Law[1]University of the Philippines College of Law or UP Law is the law school of the University of the Philippines. Since 1948, it has been located at the University of the Philippines Diliman [2]in Quezon City, the flagship campus of UP's seven constituent universities. Until the 1970s, night classes of the College of Law were conducted at the U.P. Manila campus along Padre Faura St.[3]George A. Malcolm [4]

Malcolm Hall also houses the University of the Philippines Law Library (George A. Malcolm[5]) [6], formally known as Espiritu Hall. It the largest academic law library in the country. It contains the largest and most up-to-date collection of Philippine legal materials as well as foreign statute and case books and various law journals. The library is open to U.P. law students and professors. It is also available to non-UP law students subject to proper identification and payment of library service fees. There is also an airconditioned moot court resembling the trial courts in the Philippines, a student lounge and an auditorium. Fronting the auditorium is the main lobby of Malcolm Hall. On its walls are inscribed a quotation from the American Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.[7] - Adjacent to Malcolm Hall is Bocobo Hall, which houses the University of the Philippines Law Center[8]. The Law Center was established in 1964 as an agency attached to the College of Law, for the purpose of conducting continuing legal education programs, as well as legal research and publications. The Law Center is the university center for legal publishing, legal research, and law conferences. It is composed of 4 Institutes, namely, the Institute of Government and Law Reform, the Institute of Human Rights, the Institute of International Legal Studies, and the Institute of Judicial Administration. The Law Center also hosts the offices of the Office of the National Administrative Registrar, an agency of the Philippine government which registers all national government statutes and issuances. To "popularize" the law, the Law Center conducts programs in legal literacy and street law ("practical law") in cooperation with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), student organizations, and the local barangays. Extension programs happen in the form of barangay legal education seminars to reach the grassroots level.

The Philippine Law Journal[9], first published in 1914, is the official law review of the College. The Law Student Government is the official student government of the College. Under its auspices is the Academic Reforms Commission, an independent body that represents the students in the formulation and implementation of academic and administrative policies and regulations.[10] The Bar Operations Commission is an independent constitutional body created in Feb 2009 that handles the holistic support system the college provides its bar candidates during the bar season.
