Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):

MARCH 12, 1996

The Supreme Court under the leadership of Chief Justice Andres R. Narvasa through Administrative Order No. 35-36 created the Philippine Judicial Academy (PHILJA). 

On February 26, 1998, Republic Act No 8557 established the Philippine Judicial Academy, and defined its powers and functions, and appropriate funds. 

This law institutionalized PHILJA to be the “training school for justices, judges, court personnel, lawyers, and aspirants to judicial posts.”
