More than 12,000 law graduates are taking on the three-day 2024 Bar Examinations in 13 testing centers across the Philippines on Sunday, September 8.
Supreme Court Associate Justice Mario Lopez, chair of the bar exams, said that the questions will focus on practical skills, jurisprudential perspectives, and analytical and problem-solving abilities.
“The exams are designed to bridge the gap between the study and the practice of law. They will guide you in your transition from law students to fundamentally “practice-ready” and “potentially capable” lawyers, he said in a statement.
“Begin with a clear and concise response to the question to set the stage for your analysis. Next, support your answer with relevant legal principles, citing applicable statutes, case law, or doctrines. Finally, apply these principles to the facts of the case or scenario presented in your conclusion,” he advised.
