CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AND JURISPRUDENCE

Under the chairmanship of DON EMILIO T. YAP and the presidency of MA. CHRISTINA D. PADOLINA, who believed that CEU is primed to achieve a new level of excellence in higher education, the idea of putting up a School of Law and Jurisprudence was conceived. Thus, In January 2009, the CEU School of Law and Jurisprudence was born (CEU LAW).

The law school was organized by Supreme Court Senior JUSTICE JOSUE N. BELLOSILLO (ret.) as soon as he was chosen as Dean and is ably supported by his Associate Dean, ATTY. RITA LINDA V. JIMENO. Backed up by a powerhouse faculty of legal experts, scholars, justices and judges, as well as leading law practitioners, Senior Justice Bellosillo formally opened the School of Law and Jurisprudence on January 7, 2009 at Gil Puyat Campus.

Upon the recommendation of Justice Bellosillo, the school was purposely established at the heart of the Philippines’ commercial and business district (Makati) to attract the best and the brightest practitioners in the legal profession to teach and at the same time address the need for convenience of working students who deserve to study in a prestigious school.
