    Legal Education Board Memorandum Circular

    No. 133, Series of 2022

    SUBJECT: CLARIFICATION ON THE CREDITING OF COURSES AND UNITS


    UNDER LEBMO No. 24, ALSO KNOWN AS THE REVISED MODEL
    LAW CURRICULUM

    Pursuant to the mandatory implementation of the Revised Model Law Curriculum


    (RMLC) starting this Academic Year 2022-2023, the Legal Education Board (LEB) has been
    receiving a number of queries pertaining to the crediting of courses and the equivalency of
    units for those students who had transitioned from the previous curriculum to the RMLC.

    To clarify the issue, the following guidelines shall apply:

    Section 1. Academic Freedom. If the number of academic units for a


    particular course under the Legal Education Institution’s (LEI) previous curriculum is
    HIGHER than that assigned to the said course in the RMLC, nothing will prevent the LEI
    from crediting the course taken under its previous curriculum, albeit presently diminished
    inunit assignment.

    On the other hand, if the number of academic units for a particular course under the
    LEI’s previous curriculum is LOWER than that assigned to the said course in the RMLC, the
    LEI may still credit the course previously taken with less number of hours, if its course
    description under both curriculums are the same.

    Suffice it to say, that in either case, the crediting of academic units, specifically, the
    determination of credited courses and their corresponding academic units, for those
    students who have transitioned from the previous curriculum to the RMLC, is within the
    purview of the sound, rational and wise discretion of the Legal Education Institution (LEI).

    Section 2. Availability of Courses. For transferees and returning students who


    were under the previous curriculum, it is the prerogative of the LEI to determine which
    curriculum is applicable to the student and which courses are to be credited. The LEI may
    still allow the student to take courses under the previous curriculum subject to the availability
    of those requested courses, and as long as it is guided by the provisions of the RMLC.

    Section 3. Electives. Mandatory courses taken under the LEI’s previous curriculum,
    which have been removed as such under the RMLC, may be (a) considered presently as
    an elective or (b) continued to be regarded as an institutional requirement by the LEI under
    their new curriculum.
