Legal management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

Legal management is an academic and professional discipline that is a hybrid between

the study of law and management (i.e., business administration, public administration,
etc.). Often, alumni of legal management programmes pursue a professional degree in
law such as Juris Doctor (JD) or Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) while some profess
as paralegals, law clerks, political analysts, politicians, public administrators,
entrepreneurs, business executives, or pursue careers in the academe.
The degree was designed in the Philippines and was first introduced in Ateneo de
Manila University in the 1980s by former Philippine Supreme Court Chief
Justice Renato Corona. A similar degree known as Legal Studies is offered at
the University of California Berkeley, but without management courses.[1]
Legal management student organisations across the Philippines are represented by the
Alliance of Legal Management Associations of the Philippines (ALMAP) to
the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a non-stock, non-profit, student-run
corporation.

Curriculum[edit]
Legal management is currently offered in multiple degree formats depending on the
offering college or university. Its variety and flexibility is a focal point among schools that
have it in their roster of academic degrees. Some capitalise in the legal aspects, while

predominantly preparatory law programme, a liberal arts focused programme, or a
business and management programme. Core subjects

on the school, the ratio of law courses to management courses vary between 40:60 to
