The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday announced that the results of the 2020/21 bar exams would be released next Tuesday, April 12.
In a press release, the SC said it would hold a special en banc session on April 12 to discuss Associate Justice Marvic Leonen’s report on the first-ever digitalized and regionalized bar examinations and the release of results.
The SC said the oath-taking of successful examinees would be on May 2, 2022.
The venue, time and other details of the oath-taking “shall be announced later,” the SC said.
The examinations were held on Feb. 4 and 6.
The country has not produced a new lawyer since the Covid-19 pandemic.
