127 years strong! 🎉

Here’s to the generations of lawyers who have walked our halls since 1899, and to the future defenders of justice now paving their way.

Happy Foundation Day, MLC! ⚖️✨

127 LOUD AND PROUD — WE ARE LEGACY. 💙💛❤️✨️

MLC’s history? Read here: https://www.facebook.com/share/18NQyhb5Ko/

Noong Pebrero 27, 1899, itinatag ang Escuela de Derecho de Manila sa pamumuno ni Felipe Calderon. Binuksan ito para sa mga nais mag-aral ng batas at maging abogado.

Itinatag ang paaralan sa gitna ng Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano at ang tagapagtatag nito ay ang pangunahing sumulat ng Saligang Batas ng Malolos na niratipikahan noong nakaraang buwan. Sa panahon ding iyon, maaari lamang magkamit ng degree sa Batas sa Pilipinas mula sa Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas at sa Universidad Literaria y Cientifica de Filipinas.

Sa simula, isinagawa ang mga klase sa tahanan ng mga propesor nito hanggang sa makahanap ang paaralan ng gusali sa daang Soler sa Maynila. Ginamit sa pagtuturo ang wikang Espanyol hanggang sa 1926 nang gamitin naman ang wikang Ingles. Sa ilalim ng pagiging dekano ni Katuwang na Mahistrado Felix Angelo Bautista, pinalitan ang ngalan ng paaralan patungong Manila Law College.

Nakilala ang eskuwela bilang pook ng malayang talastasan tungkol sa batas. Noong 1937, tinalo ng koponan nito sa debate ang Washington Debating Team na noo'y di pa natatalo.

Mula nang itatag ito, ang paaralan ay pinamunuan, pinag-aralan, at pinagtaposan na ng mga mahuhusay na abogado, kinatawan, senador, kalihim, at mga hukom. Kabilang sa kanila sina Pangulong Jose P. Laurel, Punong Mahistrado Manuel Moran at Jose Abad Santos, at Teodoro M. Kalaw.
