    SYLLABUS

    Title: Legal Communication 2


    Lecturer: Atty. Marie Ronette Salve E. Barreda
    Schedule:

    Course Description:

    The first course on Legal Communication focused on writing mechanics to


    improve students’ ability to communicate ideas and legal principles clearly and
    precisely in the English language. Moving forward, the second course on Legal
    Communication is expectedly a continuity of refining the student’s ability to clearly
    construct, present and critically analyze arguments.

    Incidentally, the second semester offers Legal Technique and Logic, a two-
    unit course on the elements, principles, and methods of legal reasoning and
    argument. Thus, this Legal Communication course is purposely designed to
    supplement the writing and communication aspect of the course Legal Technique
    and Logic.
    The one-hour unit per week will be utilized to advance the student’s ability
    to analyze arguments and eventually, to construct arguments and to persuade
    others. As a practical application on the learnings on Legal logic, this Legal
    Communication course will focus on analytical and communicative aspects of the
    legal argument and reasoning.

    Course Outline/Activities
    The measly one-hour per week schedule shall be utilized in reading,
    discussing and analyzing the following relevant and monumental Supreme Court
    decisions for the past decades. However, these landmark cases should be taken on
    after the students’ encounter with the fundamental concepts of legal reasoning and
    the types of legal reasoning. Only then can the students understand the legal
    reasoning and appreciate the argumentation and rhetorical skills of the Court.

    The following are the landmark cases that will be covered by the course:
    I. Lejano vs People of the Philippines (G.R. No. 176864, G.R. No. 176389)
    II. Araullo vs Aquino III (G.R. No. 209287)
    III. Poe-Llamanzares vs COMELEC (G.R. No. 221697)
    IV. Ocampo vs Enriquez (G.R. No. 225973)

    The forgoing cases shall be the subject of in depth case analysis. Students are
    expected to read the whole text of the case, analyze the issues and ruling of the
    court. As a requirement, students will submit a case analysis for each and answer
    questions posed by the lecturer.

    Requirements/Grade Component:

     Attendance in lectures - 15%


     Recitation - 25%
     Written Case Analysis - 60%

    Reason is the life of the law.
