The University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law or "UST Law" (as distinguished from the Faculty of Canon Law), is the law school of the University of Santo Tomas, the oldest and the largest Catholic university in Manila, Philippines. Established in 1734, it is the first law school in the Philippines.〔Rufus Rodriguez. ''Slaying The Bar Exams Dragon.'' Rex Bookstore, 2002.〕 It is one of the Top Performing Law Schools in the Philippine Bar Examinations. The faculty has produced numerous alumni in government, public service and the academe. ==History== Known as ''Facultad de Derecho Civil'', the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law is the oldest lay college in the University as well in the Philippines.〔 It was established on September 2, 1734, the same year that the Faculty of Canon Law was founded, with a curriculum identical to that adopted during the time in leading universities in Europe.〔Official Prospectus, University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law. 2006 Issue.〕 The number of subjects in the curriculum was later enriched and expanded. During the major part of the Spanish regime the course consisted of twelve semesters (six years), based upon a year of preparatory work.〔 On several occasions during the American regime, the University of Santo Tomas modified the curriculum of the Faculty of Civil Law in order to meet the changing conditions. But firm in the resolve of turning out worthy members of the Bar and practical Catholic lawyers, the University adhered to its basic policy of retaining in its curriculum important subjects introduced during the Spanish regime in order to fully accomplish the aims and purposes of a sound Catholic legal education.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
