About Us - Our Company Profile

Jurists Bar Review Center was born out of the dream of Professors Gafar
E. Lutian and Manuel R. Riguera to found a bar review center that would
offer not only bar-review lectures but more importantly establish a system
of coaching and performance-monitoring that would better prepare the
reviewees for the bar examinations. In late 2004, after a series of
extensive brain-storming sessions, in which Professors Riguera and Lutian
were joined by their respective spouses Attys. Hazel and Gina, the core
group designed a review and training regimen that was quite unique in that
it was the first and so far only bar review program that involved
individualized coaching, mock-bar examinations, and performance
monitoring. In 28 January 2005, Jurists Review Center, Inc. was
incorporated with Professor Manuel R. Riguera as the President and Atty.
Hazel R. Riguera as the Chief Financial Officer.

2005 was Jurists’ initial bar review season, and 82 reviewees enrolled for
the program. When the bar results came out in March 2006, Jurists
obtained an overall passing percentage of 41.38% as against the national
passing percentage of 27.20%. For those Jurists reviewees who faithfully
followed and adhered to the Jurists training protocol of mock-bar
examinations and attendance in one-on-one coaching sessions, the
passing percentage was an astounding 85%. And Gladys Gervacio, 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
Far Eastern University, Institute of Law in Morayta, Manila.

Coaching and Performance-Monitoring 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.
