College of Law 345
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 Educaonal Department Commiee of the Young Men’s
Chrisan Associaon (YMCA), through the eorts of George A. Malcolm who was later to become the rst permanent dean of the College.
In June 1911, the College was formally opened with rst and second year classes. There was a total of 125 students comprising freshmen and
sophomores, the laer numbering y when they started the YMCA school. Of this rst law class, one became a President of the Philippines,
another, a Chief Jusce of the Supreme Court, while several others became legislators and legal luminaries.
The faculty was at rst predominantly American, but the faculty prole changed when the American teachers were supplanted by Filipinos.
Sherman Moreland, Jusce of the Philippine Supreme Court, was Acng Dean from 1 July to 11 October 1911; George Malcolm was Secretary
and subsequently Dean unl 1917 when he was elevated to the Supreme Court. Jorge C. Bocobo, a member of the 1911 faculty, succeeded Dean
Malcolm and became the rst Filipino dean of the College. He held that posion unl 1934.
In the early years of the College, classes were held aer ve o’clock in the aernoon because most of the students held some employment during
the day. The College oered a three-year course for students devong full me 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-h year, the enrollment in the College of Law totaled 547 students and the faculty was composed of eight full-me and nine part-
me 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 aended 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 unl August of 1945. Returning from a brief snt in the Supreme Court, Dean Espiritu commenced the dicult task of rehabilitang
the College.
In December 1948, with the transfer of the main campus of the University of the Philippines to Diliman, Quezon City, the College was rst
assigned to occupy an army hut, and later, a three-storey building named Malcolm Hall aer the College’s founder and rst permanent dean.
Dean Espiritu rered 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 unl 1969. Prof. Perfecto
V. Fernandez was appointed Ocer-in-Charge of the College about a year unl Dr. Irene R. Cortes was appointed in 1970. Thus, she became the
rst woman to hold the posion. 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 unl April 1989. The College of Law and the Law Complex
subsequently underwent a process of reorganizaon, and a new dean was not appointed unl aer its compleon. Dr. Pacico A. Agabin was
appointed dean in October 1989 and served unl 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 unl his second term ended in September 2005. Prof. Salvador T. Carlota was the
