Law is Cool

Law is Cool is a depository of case digests which are commonly assigned in law schools. More than a digest, the ruling of each case follows the 4-paragraph rule which aims to acquaint the readers on the application of such strategy in answering bar examination questions. Labels are also in place to identify the en banc cases, the cases penned by SC Justices, the year it was decided, and the law subject to which the case is commonly discussed.
