This piece of literature on Legal History is a must-read for every student of the law from any and all levels. It affords the reader an excellent set of perspectives on the unique mestizo features of our very own Philippine Legal History. We use this book as our basic text for the delivery of oral reports in the Master of Laws (LL.M.) classes at the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas in Manila. The author, a Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D., Yale) was my esteemed Professor in Constitutional Hermeneutics in the Doctor of Juristic Science (J.S.D.) program of the San Beda University Graduate School of Law.
