Two bar examinees topped the bar exams without graduating from any Philippine law school:
Jose Diokno - former Senator of the Philippines; 1st placer, 1945 bar exams
Carolina C. Griño-Aquino - former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court; 1st placer, 1950 bar exams
In the past, non-law school graduates were allowed to take the bar. However, the Revised Rules of Court and Supreme Court Circulars allow only Philippine law graduates to take the bar, necessarily excluding non-law graduates and foreign law graduates from taking part in the exercise.
