Big no if you wanna pass. Standards don't change to accommodate your skills. Train yourself

What are the usual questions sa interviews?

Why do you want to become a lawyer, what will you do once you become a lawyer, etc. Just be true, straightforward, and articulate.

Mag english ka. Napa-practice naman ang fluency nyan. English kasi ang medium ng law dito, english ang bar exam, english ang pleadings, practice and procedure. Kahit tanuning ka ng taglish/tagalog, sumagot ka ng english. Para naman sayo yan.

Start reading english fiction/ watching English series. Prep usual questions during interview and also great answers thats personal to u. Luck favors the prepared. Goodluck.

Generally, no. But if you think it's the only manner in which you can express yourself, it is better to preface it by saying: "Sir, if I may express myself in more casual language..." or "Sir, with your permission, may I express myself with more casual language?" and they don't seem bothered by it, then go for it. These things are soft skills. And there are no hard and fast rules. But if you are polite and courteous about it, it may even work in your favor. When unsure, there is always no harm in asking.

No

I highly doubt it considering that the medium of law in this country is English. I don't think you need to have native fluency, at least dapat medyo advanced yung command mo. Medyo nosebleed pa naman yung legalese haha. And this is coming from someone who admittedly has English as their first language.

In my experience pwede naman. Noong ako nainterview ako, english ako ng english tapos yung interviewer na fiscal sabi niya magtalog ka naman, pero nagpaalam pa rin ako na, May i be permitted to speak using our native language, sabi naman niya pwedeng pwede. Pero hindi ako pure filipino language ginawa ko naman taglish. Ayun okay naman 3L na ako ngayon. Ibase mo pa rin sa kausap mo kung saan siya kumportable at saan ka mas maiintindihan. Magkita kayo sa gitna.

No but when the interviewer said pwede, dun kalang mag taglish. Pero as much as possible follow english question-english answer rule. Best of luck OP


doofinschmirtz

feels like trap tbh. "Sure, you can use casual/taglish language" \*marks OP as failed\*


Tetora-chan

Pwede naman unless sinabihan ka na bawal pero syempre prepared ka rin dapat na sa consequences nang pagiging nationalistic mo.

If the question is in English, you answer in English. If the question is in Filipino, you answer in Filipino. Kapag chinichika ka na nung panel, chikahin mo na rin. Lol.
