Bar Exam Passers to Take Oath Today

Law graduates who passed last year’s Bar examinations are scheduled to take their oath as “officers of the court” before the Supreme Court in a special en banc session at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City today.

There are 949 law graduates, who anytime today will become full-fledged lawyers, according to the SC statement. The High Court released the results of the October 2012 exams last March 20. A total of 5,343 law graduates took the Bar exams, and only 949 passed (17.76%).
