WE IN THE SCHOOL OF LAW MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER AND BE GUIDED AND INSPIRED BY OUR - VISION To revitalize the Law School so that it shall be faithful to its tradition of leadership and excellence in legal education, and provide proficient, ethical, social and affordable training to students to prepare them to be lawyers and leaders in a just and progressive society. MISSION To produce competent and principled lawyers who shall promote truth and justice by recruiting qualified students, developing a competent faculty, using proper and effective methods of teaching, maintaining basic infrastructure and facilities, administering the school efficiently, reaching out to the stakeholders and the public, cooperating with the government and the rest of the academic world, and ensuring quality legal education under wholesome conditions. Quick Links • Law • SEAS • SABA • Engineering • Graduate • Criminology • Architecture • SIT • KEHS The MLQU School of Law was established in 1947 as a protest against arbitrary authority by a group of men, who, believing in the supremacy of the law, decided to build a school that will provide a strong foundation for the future of young men and women committed to the cause of justice and to the service of their country & people. Fired by the idealism of the founders and benefiting from the vast knowledge and competence of their mentors, the first graduates of the school capped three berths in the first ten places in the 1948 bar examinations with only one failing to make the grade. With this record for a start, graduates of the school continued to reap honors in the country's most prestigious government exam, getting perfect scores in some subjects and obtaining very high overall percentages of passing ranging from 92.33% to 100%. The excellent showing of the school's graduates in the bar examinations during its fledgling years could be attributed to the faculty of the school that included the most illustrious names in the country's judicial system. Listed in the school's faculty roster were eminent jurists like J.B. L. Reyes, Roberto Concepcion, Carmelino Alvendia, Arsenio Dizon and a luminary lawyer like Manuel O. Chan and stalwarts in the practice of law and in other fields of endeavor, like Emilio Abello, Francisco Carreon, Magno Gatmaitan and Arturo S. Monzon, to mention a few. These men, likewise, were inspired by Dr. Leoncio B. Monzon, the first Chancellor and later President of the school when it acquired university status on May 19, 1958. It was Dr. Monzon from whose vision and leadership the founders of the school drew the courage to venture into the uncertainties of an academic enterprise. The school can look back with understandable pride to its successful alumni who are scattered throughout the Philippines holding responsible positions in the government and in private business organizations and educational institutions. Among them are former Justices Ricardo C. Puno, Sr., Isagani A. Cruz and Sedfrey Ordonez, the late Mayor of Manila, Antonio Villegas, Justice Artemio Tuquero now Dean of the College of Law, Justices Jose Vitug and Jose Melo, Atty. Augusto B. Sunico who became the president of the University, Atty. Norberto Gonzales and Atty. Lorenzo Miravite. "Accomplishment" and "Growth " - these in a nutshell summarize the history of the MLQ School of Law during the years that followed its establishment and it shall be so in the years to come.
