Disqualification, recusation and inhibition: Joker, HB!

MANONG Emil Jurado wondered in his Standard column the other day “where Hilbay finished his law.”

The SolGen attended UP and co-topped the bar exams in 1999. From the Internet: “Florin Ternal Hilbay (born March 19, 1974) . . . In 2005, [he] obtained his Masters of Law degree from Yale. He was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Boston College in 2001 [Grace Poe also attended BC, my wife’s Jesuit alma mater]. He has also held fellowships at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law & International Law in Heidelberg, Germany, and the Asian Law Institute for Comparative Public Law in the National University of Singapore.” These institutions are not department stores.
