In Philippine law schools, students are expected not just to answer their exams well. They need to WRITE them too in, at least, a readable format.
And believe it or don’t, handwriting is one of the major factors that determine a Filipino barrister’s chance of passing the bar.
Not sure with other legal education systems, but from where I come from, we still do it the old-fashioned way in answering the bar exams.
We still do it the handwritten way.
This trend still stands and I feel like this won’t change anytime soon.
