PhiLSAT 2019 Advisory

The Supreme Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to stop Legal Education Board from implementing their LEB Memo. No. 18. This Memo covers the eligibility of incoming Law Students for the Academic Year 2018-2019. Moreover, this Memo also prohibited the Conditional Enrollment of Non-PhiLSAT Takers.

Last March 19, 2019, The Legal Education Board issued LEB Memo No. 27 (2019).

3. Those who have passed the PhiLSAT but have expired Certificates of Eligibility;

4. College Honor Graduates without Certificates of Exemption; and
