A graduate of the Ateneo Law School emerged first among the 1,913 examinees who passed the 2011 Bar examinations held last November. Two other Ateneo graduates made it to the top ten, outnumbering any other school.
Those who passed comprise 31.95 percent of the 5,990 law graduates who took the test — the second highest passing rate since 2000 — and substantially higher than 2010's 20.26 percent. Notably, no UP Law graduates made it to the top ten. In the 2010 bar exams, three UP grads made it to the magic ten.
Two graduates of San Beda College law school were among the top ten, the only other school with more than one graduate on the hallowed list, an honor they will carry throughout their careers as lawyers.
Raoul Angelo Atadero from Ateneo Law School emerged on top with 85.536 percent score.
