May 05, 2022
Successful 2020/2021 Bar candidates attend the signing of the Roll of Attorneys, the final step before they become full-fledged lawyers, at the Supreme Court of the Philippines in Ermita, Manila.
The Court announced three regional venues with respective schedules for the Roll signing. Those from the National Capital Region and Luzon may sign at the SC compound in Manila on May 4-24, 2022 and June 6-17, 2022. Those from Visayas may sign on May 30-June 3, 2022 at the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Building in Cebu City, while those from Mindanao may sign on May 26-28, 2022 at the Hall of Justice of Cagayan de Oro City.
Only those who attended the May 2, 2022 oath-taking ceremonies at the Mall of Asia Arena are permitted to sign the Roll of Attorneys.
The successful Bar examinees are allowed to have a maximum of two guests. All are required to wear face masks and submit themselves to COVID- 19 antigen testing at the venue. A total of 8,241 or 72.28% out of 11,402 examinees successfully passed the 2020/2021 Bar Examinations held last February. It was the first-ever regionalized and digitalized Bar Examinations in Philippine history. (Courtesy of the SC-Public Information Office)
