It’s official: there are no Bar Examinations taking place this year. Instead, they will be held in November 2021, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday, September 8.
“By approval of the Court En Banc, the next Bar Examinations will be held in November 2021. The examination periods and the venues of the next Bar Examinations will be announced in a separate Bar bulletin,” the Supreme Court said.
Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, supposed to be the 2020 Bar Chairman, is the sole chairman of the 2020/2021 Bar Examinations. Associate Justice Benjamin Caguioa, supposed to be the 2021 Bar Chair, will chair the 2022 Bar.
Supreme Court Spokesperson Brian Keith Hosaka said that law students who graduated this year and those who will graduate in 2021 can take the November 2021 Bar Examinations – which means that the expected number of takers will double.
“Yes, you can say that since two batches of law school graduates will presumably be qualified to take the Bar,” confirmed Hosaka.
Leonen earlier said that the Supreme Court will pilot computerized Bar Examinations, but it was not clear if this would be implemented for the 2021 Bar. – Rappler.com
