    The document discusses major problems in the Philippine legal system from the perspective of law students, including court system delays, patronage ("padrino system") in courts, and corruption in the judicial system. As future lawyers, the students propose addressing these challenges through legislative reforms like anti-political recommendation acts, impeachment of corrupt officials, and anti-graft laws. However, they acknowledge that as lawyers they cannot directly change the system, and that reforms must come from higher authorities to have a widespread impact on improving the legal process.

    What do you think are the major As future lawyers, how would
    problems in the juridical you address these challenges
    system? and obstacles?

    A. Court System Delay Hon. Judge Bonifacio Sanz Maceda


    and People of the Philippines V. Rene
    Cabarles, February 20, 2007

    Application of REPUBLIC ACT NO.

    Court, Metropolitan Trial Court,
    Municipal Trial Court, and Municipal
    Circuit Trial Court, appropriating
    funds therefor, and for other
    purposes.)

    The hope still remains that the


    saying justice delayed is justice
    denied will be but an anachronistic
    nightmare.

    CONCLUSION:
    As future lawyers, we cannot actually change the system. Change must
    come from the top authority to have a Domino Effect to the different
    branches of the government . We cannot condemn the judges from
    rendering unjust decisions because it may jeopardize our profession or
    even our lives. Lawyers are mere lawyers unlike judges who have a
    greater power in influencing the decision of a case. But illustrating
    professionalism and good conduct can make our future fellow lawyers or
    even judges have a change of heart.
