UE confers Juris Doctor degree to SC justices
Supreme Court Associate Justice Japar Dimaampao and retired Associate Justice Dante Tinga were among the 505 candidates conferred their Juris Doctor degrees by the University of the East (UE) College of Law.
Both Dimaampao and Tinga have prior connections to UE, having obtained their undergraduate degrees and Bachelor of Laws diplomas from the university.
Justice Tinga also previously held the position of dean at the UE College of Law for two separate terms.
The Juris Doctor degree, implemented in 2017, is recognized by UE as equivalent to a doctoral degree in non-law fields for appointment, employment, ranking, and compensation purposes.
