LEX PARETO NOTES

Vital few . . . Trivial many

" . . . This work is an example of the seed that has been planted that fell on good ground. The authors of this work have not merely opted to listen and wait for somebody else to do something, but rather they were pro-active and decided to take the challenge I had been posing throughout the years. . .

WELCOME MESSAGE

"Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the Old One. I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice." - Albert Einstein

 
Whether we agree or not, we live in a world of order. Our world follows a set of rules and principles. The sun and moon just does not rise and set randomly, it follows a certain pattern. Seasons goes through certain cycles. What goes up must come down, and for every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Even how chaotic a system might be, there is always a certain "order" to it. Einstein's quote above is often paraphrased as "God does not play dice with the universe"

 To recognize the existence of such patterns and to make use of them will be certainly to our advantage. 

 In our study of law it cannot be denied that the preparations for the bar exams is given primordial concern. Preparing for the bar is not an easy task. Wouldn't it be great if we would know in advance what particular article or subject area we should study? Is it even possible to know this? 

  The answer may be a yes or no. The science of probability and statistics is not an exact science. However it more or less gives us a general idea on things on what would be, though not what should be. 

  For this reason we have developed the Lex Pareto notes through the inspiration of Prof. Abelardo Domondon. The Lex Pareto notes is the most unique and one of its kind law reviewer in the market today. It is also one of the few reviewers that is designed for the convenience of the student and the bar reviewee. The reason for such is that we have personally used the Pareto notes before we took the bar exams. In fact most of the authors and I myself can personally attest that the Lex Pareto Notes is the only main review material we read during the pre-week.

Though it's original design is for the "pre-week" it can be used during the pre-month as well, side by side with your main reviewers. It is even useful for all law students from 1st year to 4th year, since it will serve as a guide as to what specific codal provisions should be mastered as these has been asked repeatedly in the bar exams. 

Our greatest joy is not derived from the monetary gains that we may get from our work nor is it from the honor and distinction of being its authors. Our greatest joy comes from those who will inform us how the Lex Pareto Notes has made a difference in the way they have studied and as a result has passed or even top the bar exams.  

May God Almighty richly bless you.
