JUST IN | MSU Files Case Before Supreme Court, Assails Constitutionality of LEB and Its Orders

JUST IN | MSU Files Case Before Supreme Court, Assails Constitutionality of LEB and Its Orders Mindanao State University (MSU), through its Board of Regents, has filed a petition with the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of the Legal Education Board (LEB) and its regulatory authority over state-owned, chartered law schools. The petition seeks a temporary restraining order and an injunction against LEB’s cease-and-desist and closure orders, arguing that MSU’s autonomy as a state-owned university exempts it from LEB’s oversight. Despite ongoing challenges from LEB, MSU remains committed to the operation of its College of Law. This legal action, backed by the university's highest governing body, represents a significant challenge to LEB’s authority and a strong defense of academic freedom. #OneWithMSULaw
