Learn Philippine Law

Every doctrine arrives as a picture before it arrives as a provision — a comic strip, then an animation, then the codal text it was explaining all along.

How a lesson works

The same four beats in every subject and every year, so your attention goes to the doctrine rather than to the format.

  1. BEAT 110 min

    Panel

    A four-panel Taglish comic states a real dilemma and stops before the answer. You vote first.

  2. BEAT 245 min

    Provision

    An animation runs the rule as a machine — a timeline scrubs, a tree lights up, a pie splits. Then the codal text, read aloud.

  3. BEAT 365 min

    Problem

    Three hypotheticals, easy to bar-hard, answered in essay form. The hardest is always a past bar question, unedited.

  4. BEAT 410 min

    Proof

    A five-item check, then the week’s cards enter spaced repetition and resurface on the algorithm’s schedule.

1LCriminal Law I

Attempted, frustrated, consummated

Binaril niya pero hindi tinamaan. Ano ang kaso?

One act, three possible crimes. The line between them is not how bad the outcome was — it is how far the offender got before something outside his will stopped him.

Open lesson
1LConstitutional Law II

When an arrest without a warrant holds

Pwede ba nila akong arestuhin nang walang warrant?

Three narrow situations, and one rule students reverse: the arrest justifies the search, never the other way round.

Open lesson
2LCivil Procedure I

Which court, and what has to happen first

Saang korte ako magsasampa?

Jurisdiction is set by law and by the allegations in the complaint — never by where it is convenient to sue. File in the wrong one and years of work evaporate.

Open lesson
2LSales & Lease

The same land, sold twice

Dalawang beses naibenta ang lupa. Sino ang panalo?

Not the first buyer, not the one who paid more. Article 1544 runs a race, and good faith is the only way to finish it.

Open lesson
2LLabor Relations

Just cause is only half the case

Tinanggal ako sa chat. Legal ba 'yon?

Philippine law asks two questions about every dismissal, and an employer can lose on either one. This is the lesson students most often answer with only half of.

Open lesson
2LLabor Standards

Immediate resignation and the final pay

Nag-resign ako agad. Pwede bang hindi ibigay ang final pay ko?

The 30-day notice is real, and so is the employer's remedy for skipping it. Forfeiting wages is not that remedy.

Open lesson

The four-year path

Read a rule, apply it to facts, prove it under the rules of evidence, then practice it in front of a judge. Open a year for its full course list and the lessons written for it — or see all 49 courses on one page.

All of it is open — no account needed. Signing in only decides where the record is kept: your account, or this browser.

Weights follow Bar Bulletin No. 1 for the 2025 Bar. They have moved between cycles — check the current Bulletin before planning a review calendar around them.

A study path, not legal advice, and not an accredited program. Course structure follows the LEB model curriculum for the basic law program; provisions, rules and thresholds named here must be checked against the current text before you rely on them. Statutes get renumbered, jurisdictional amounts get raised, and rules of procedure are revised more often than syllabi.
