Update: UPLaw LAE for 2011-2012 is scheduled on Sunday, 21 November 2010, in U.P. Diliman, U.P. Cebu, U.P. Baguio, U.P. Davao and U.P. Visayas.

In previous years:

The University of the Philippines (U.P.) College of Law has announced the holding of the Law Aptitude Examination (LAE) for academic year 2008-2009. The LAE is the entrance exam for the UPLaw.

The LAE is scheduled on 25 November 2007 (Sunday, 7:30 a.m.), with test centers in UP Diliman, UP Cebu, UP Mindanao (Davao City) and UP Baguio.

Anyone planning to enter the U.P. College of Law, who has finished or is finishing at least a bachelor’s degree in the arts or sciences from a recognized college or university, is qualified to take the examination upon prior application and proper identification and registration. An applicant can take LAE a maximum of three (3) times effective SY 2007-2008.

Applicants with yearly gross family income of P100,000.00 or less are exempted from payment of testing fee.

The last day of filing of application forms is on 16 November 2007 (without fine) or 23 November 2007 (with fine). Click here to download the application form.

Update (22 January 2008): I heard that the LAE results were released today. Here’s the UNOFFICIAL list, courtesy of Jester (will still have to verify the list tomorrow). Please CROSS-CHECK with the official list posted at the UP College of Law. Please note that the written exam is only the first part of the selection process. There are 301 who passed the written exam. The second phase is the panel interview (schedules will be announced later by UPLaw).

Update (9 April 2008): The official list of those who made it through LAE and are qualified to enroll as first year students at the UP College of Law for the SY 2008-2009 is posted in the UPLaw official website. First part is here and the second part is here.

Update: As appearing in the UPLAW website: “For school year 2009-2010, the LAE will be administered on Sunday, 23 November 2008, in U.P. Diliman, U.P. Cebu, U.P. Baguio and U.P. Davao.” Deadline is on 14 November 2008 (without fine) or 21 November 2008 (with fine). The form may be downloaded from this link (.doc format or .pdf format). Good luck.

Update (3 February 2009): 2009-2010 LAE results already out. See list from comments below. Congratulations.

Update (12 February 2010): 2010-2011 LAE Results released today. See comment of Nina, with thanks, for the list (click here). Waiting is over. Congratulations to those who made it. To the rest, it’s just a detour. Good luck and God bless.
