The Department of Justice (DOJ) will conduct Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) conventions this year for its lawyers nationwide.
The MCLE is mandatory to all lawyers so “they keep abreast with law and jurisprudence, maintain the ethics of the profession, and enhance the standards of the practice of law,” the DOJ said.

The implementing rules on MCLE were approved by the Supreme Court (SC) in 2001. The reconstitution of the DOJ’s MCLE was announced by Justice Secretary Crispin C. Remulla last Tuesday, Jan. 3.
Remulla said that 2023 “is a very challenging year,” and said he expects everybody, “no matter what the challenges are, to stay the course.”
