Starting the first semester of 2020, law schools have adopted an asynchronous class arrangement wherein law professors and their students no longer meet inside the classroom.  Law subjects are now taught via online classes via ZOOM, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.  So gone are the face-to-face classes where students would be called to stand up for recitation  until the law professor is satisfied with the answer.   However, this does not mean that online classes are less fun and suspenseful, law students still dread being called for recitation during online classes.    Hosts Jondale Mae Garcia and Jorge Ferraris II talk to three law school students: Maree Erika Upo-an ,Christian Tancuan and Jezner Ralph Sasi  about their perspectives on the topic.
