CHIEF Justice Alexander Gesmundo called for an overhaul of legal education in the Philippines, citing the rapidly changing demands of the legal profession.
"You integrate real-world issues into the curriculum and foster a deep sense of social responsibility in your students. You shape legal education to produce professionals who will advocate for those in need, challenge injustice, and uphold the fundamental values of a free and fair society," Gesmundo said during the 2025 Philippine Association of Law Schools Inc. Annual Convention in Pampanga.
