Ateneo and UP Law Curricula

According to the Inquirer online, the Ateneo schools topped the 2010 Bar Examination with five bar passers who belong  to the top 10 examinees, one of which is from the Ateneo de Davao University and four of which are from the Ateneo de Manila University's College of Law. Meanwhile, the University of the Philippines College of Law bagged four topnotchers.

I believe that the Ateneo de Manila University is really doing good in the Bar Examination for the past years. I also think that their curriculum wherein a certain semester in their fourth year is devoted in reviewing some parts of the bar.

This aspect of the curriculum for the Juris Doctor program offered by the Ateneo College of Law is not present in UP Law's curricula for the morning and evening classes. If UP Law has this review program in their curricula and if the college is more serious about the bar exam, then I believe that UP Law will also or if not, be able to produce more bar topnotchers than the Ateneo Law.

I respect that these two legal institution have their own forte and specialization, however, people especially those who do not know the content of the curricula of these two schools will primarily judge them according to the number of the topnotchers that they have produced. And that I, being an aspiring law student in the future, I may basically be influenced  by this type of comparison and irrationality that people usually do to judge a certain law student.
