T he Board of Regents of the University of the Philippines
formally approved the establishment of the College of Law on 21
January 1911. The College, however, traces its beginnings to the
law courses opened in 1910 by the Educatonal Department Commitee of
the Young Mens Christan Associaton (YMCA), through the eforts of
George A. Malcolm who was later to become the frst permanent dean
of the College.In June 1911, the College was formally opened with
frst and second year classes.There was a total of 125 students
comprising freshmen and sophomores, the later numbering ffy when
they started the YMCA school.Of this frst law class, one became a
President of the Philippines,another, a Chief Justce of the Supreme
Court, while several others became legislators and legal
luminaries.ThefacultywasatfrstpredominantlyAmerican,butthefacultyproflechangedwhentheAmericanteachersweresupplantedbyFilipinos.
ShermanMoreland,JustceofthePhilippineSupremeCourt,wasActngDeanfrom1Julyto11October1911;GeorgeMalcolmwasSecretary
and subsequently Dean untl 1917 when he was elevated to the Supreme
Court.Jorge C. Bocobo, a member of the 1911 faculty, succeeded Dean
Malcolm and became the frst Filipino dean of the College.He held
that positon untl 1934.In the early years of the College, classes
were held afer fve oclock in the afernoon because most of the
students held some employment during the day.The College ofered a
three-year course for students devotng full tme to their studies in
the College and a four-year course for students who were
employed.Commencing with the school year 1917-1918, the four-year
course was prescribed for all students.By its twenty-ffh year, the
enrollment in the College of Law totaled 547 students and the
faculty was composed of eight full-tme and nine part-tme members.A
graduate program leading to the Master of Laws degree had been
established; two earned the degree in 1918.Classes were then held
in Palma Hall on the Padre Faura Campus in Manila and the greater
number of students atended day classes.Evening classes were
maintained for students who were employed during the day.Dean Jose
A. Espiritu was appointed in 1934 to succeed Dean Bocobo.Upon the
outbreak of the war in 1941, the College was closed and classes did
not resume untl August of 1945.Returning from a brief stnt in the
Supreme Court, Dean Espiritu commenced the difcult task of
rehabilitatng the
College.InDecember1948,withthetransferofthemaincampusoftheUniversityofthePhilippinestoDiliman,QuezonCity,theCollegewasfrst
assigned to occupy an army hut, and later, a three-storey building
named Malcolm Hall afer the Colleges founder and frst permanent
dean.Dean Espiritu retred in 1953 and was succeeded by Dean Vicente
G. Sinco.Dean Sinco was appointed President of the University in
1958 and Judge Vicente Abad Santos, a former member of the law
faculty, became dean.Dean Abad Santos held the deanship untl
1969.Prof. Perfecto V. Fernandez was appointed Ofcer-in-Charge of
the College about a year untl Dr. Irene R. Cortes was appointed in
1970.Thus, she became the frst woman to hold the positon.In April
1978, Prof. Froilan M. Bacungan, then the Director of the Law
Center, succeeded to the deanship.In October 1983, Prof. Bartolome
S. Carale was appointed Dean of the College and served untl April
1989.The College of Law and the Law Complex subsequently underwent
a process of reorganizaton, and a new dean was not appointed untl
afer its completon.Dr. Pacifco A. Agabin was appointed dean in
October 1989 and served untl October 1995 when Prof. Merlin M.
Magallona became the tenth Dean of the College.In August 1999, Dr.
Raul C. Pangalangan was appointed Dean of the College untl his
