The Supreme Court has suspended the implementation of the Community Legal Aid Service (CLAS) Rule in view of, among other reasons, the implementation of the Revised Student Practice Rule.
In a two-page minute resolution, the Court En Banc also ordered the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) to refer back the cases currently assigned to CLAS-covered lawyers to the supervising IBP lawyers.
