Plan of Study

I finished my law degree in 2011. Passed the bar in 2012.
I am now on my third year in my coursework for my doctorate degree in communication at UP Open University. Next school year, I will already enroll in Comm 400 (Dissertation). I am excited to enter the candidacy phase of my doctorate studies.

However, next year, I need to take the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) Seminar. I intend also to enrol in the Master of Laws program of San Beda Graduate School of Law. For my thesis, I intend to write a treatise that will annotate the Philippine Laws on Trust and Investments. Wishful thinking.

Thereafter, I intend to take the PhD in Law and Economics at Erasmus Mundus Program (University of Bologna - Italy, University of Hamburg - Germany, Rotterdam Institute of Law and Economics - Netherlands, and Indira Ghandi Institute of Development Studies - India.). Imagine spending 4 years in 4 different universities for a PhD!

The ultimate question is: What will I do after my doctorate studies? He he he. Am I prepared ti pursue a career in the academe? He he he.
