An And d Gla Gladys dys Ge Gerva rvacio cio,, a Jurists Reviewee who faithfully followed the Jurists protocol, copped 6th place in the bar examinations and scored a perfect 100% in Labor Law and Legal Ethics, a feat unparalled in the annals of the bar examinations. Jurists’ impressive results caught the attention of the academe, the law studentry, and even the national media. Ms. Mary Ann Ll. Reyes, in her  widely-read column “Hidden Agenda” in the Philippine Star, said: “For a

bar review center set up only last year, the Jurists Bar Review Center in Las Pinas is gaining quite a reputation.” (Philippine Star, 17 May 2006). Ms. Reyes wrote that Ms. Gervacio’s “remarkable performance she attributes largely to the preparation she received from the Jurists Bar  Review Center … with its unique bar review program that features coaching with multi mock bar exams.” (Philippine Star, 14 May 2006). In the 2006 Bar Review season, the number of enrollees increased to 108. The 2006 season was also notable for the introduction of an English for  Bar Reviewees program and the implementation of various refinements to the coaching program. Out of the 78 Jurists candidates who took the 2006 Bar, 31 emerged triumphant for a pass rate of 40% as against the national pass rate of 30%. The pass rate for those who followed the protocol continued to astound at a remarkable 80%. Enrollment increased to 154 for the 2007 Bar Review season. The 2007 Bar Examination was an especially difficult one featuring “unusually strict corrections” in the words of the chairman, Supreme Court Justice Adolf  Azcuna. Only 1,289 out of 5,626 examinees made the grade for a low 22.91% national pass rate. Despite this, Jurists bar candidates posted an above-par result with 34 out of 91 candidates making it for a 37.36% passing percentage. For the candidates who followed faithfully the Jurists training protocol, they still continued to outperform the rest of the pack with a remarkable 70% pass rate. During the 2008 Bar Review season, Jurists moved to a new venue at the Philippine Christian University in Taft Avenue. Word continued to spread among the law studentry of the marvelous results posted by Jurists and the number of enrollees rocketed to 374. The coaching staff was thus increased to 12 coaches and the coaching program further fine-tuned in order to cope with the upsurge in the number of reviewees. The 2008 season also saw the addition of a pre-week review and the expansion of Jurists to the Visayas. In coordination with the Southwestern University College of Law, the Jurists Bar Review and Coaching Program was conducted at the SWU College of Law Campus in Cebu City. The maiden season of Jurists in the Queen City of the South was a resounding success with 94 law students from SWU and other premier law colleges in Cebu and the Visayas enrolling. For the 2009 Bar review season, Jurists will move to its new venue at the

System

The aim of the Jurists coaching program is the rigorous training of the bar  reviewee so that he or she can properly analyze a bar exam problem, come up with an answer and then effectively present the answer in such a manner as to gain the most points from the bar examiner. In this regard, Jurists was the first bar review center to conduct a coaching program with mock bar examinations in the Philippines. Since then others have followed the trail blazed by Jurists but Jurists continues to remain at the forefront in the field of bar exam coaching. The Jurists program is sui generis and offers unique and special advantages and benefits not found in other  programs. Our coaching system features the administration of a series of 6 mock-bar  examinations specially crafted by the Jurists coaching staff in consultation with the bar reviewers. After each mock bar, the coach checks the booklets and afterwards sits down with the reviewee in a one-on-one coaching session wherein the coach identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the bar reviewee and discusses the answers with the reviewee. The reviewee also receives a written feedback from the coach for his or her reference and file. The reviewee is also trained to use proven test-taking strategies and tactics specially developed by Jurists. The performance of the reviewee is monitored by the coaching staff and weaknesses and faults are identified and then excised. The reviewee will note with satisfaction the marked improvement in the way he or she performs in the mock bar exams as the coaching program progresses. Jurists believes that each reviewee has his or her unique strong and weak points which must be addressed individually and not just in a group lecture or seminar. Reviewees are exhorted to undergo the full coaching protocol in order to gain the maximum benefits from the Jurists program. At the conclusion of the coaching program, the reviewee has been thoroughly immersed in the Jurists Method of analyzing and answering bar  questions such that its application becomes second nature or almost intuitive. This cannot be achieved in a program where there is only one or  a few mock bar examinations and where there is only an omnibus or group lecture on how to answer the bar exam. We have a dedicated and well-trained corps of coaches which has enabled us to effectively implement our unique program. Our coaches have

themselves undergone an intensive clinic where they are taught the Jurists Method of training and coaching. Our coaches are concurrent law professors or those experienced in teaching the law. Jurists believes that a law professor will prove to be the best bar exam coach, as he or she can check and evaluate the mock-bar examinations from the unique perspective of a teacher experienced in checking and evaluating thousands of law school examinations.
