Isasagawa ang Bar examinations ng mas maagang petsa sa susunod na taon na Setyembre 17, 20, at 24, ayon sa Supreme Court ngayong Huwebes.

Base sa Bar Bulletin No. 1 ng SC, ang Bar exams na gaganapin sa Setyembre 2023 ay, “under the aim of expediting the admission of successful examinees to the legal profession.”

“The rationale is both practical and societal; an earlier conduct of examinations means an earlier release of examination results; successful Bar examinees can commence their practice of law as early as December 2023; and new lawyers may begin contributing to their families and to the society as members of the Bar in the same year they graduated from law school,” nakasaad sa bulletin na nilagdaan ni Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando.

Ang 2023 Bar exams ay hahatiin sa anim na core subjects, at idi-distribute ito sa loob ng tatlong hindi magkakasunod na araw ng eksaminasyon.

Gayundin, nakaiskedyul ang mga subject ng Political and Public International Law, at Commercial and Taxation Laws sa unang araw; ang Civil Law, at Labor Law and Social Legislation ay sa ikalawang araw; at ang Criminal Law, at Remedial Law, Legal and Judicial Ethics with Practical Exercises ay sa ikatlong araw.

Kukuha naman ang mga examinees ng dalawang subjects per examination day, na naka-segment sa morning at afternoon periods. Tatagal ito para sa morning leg mula alas-8:00 ng umaga hanggang alas-12:00 ng tanghali habang sa afternoon leg ay mula alas-2:00 ng hapon hanggang alas-6:00 ng gabi.

Ayon sa SC, “The exams will be composed of a maximum of 20 straightforward entry-level questions in essay-type form. The answers will not require computations, and will be graded from 0% to 100%, or 5% for each question.”

“It will also adopt a multiple-examiner policy of four examiners per subject,” dagdag nito.
