BAR 2023 OVERVIEW

Supreme Court said that over 10,000 takers completed the third digitalized and regionalized bar exams on September 17, 20, and 24, 2023 in 14 local testing centers nationwide.

Relative to the successful conduct of 2020-2021 and 2022 Bar Exam, the Supreme Court once again used Examplify, a computer-based examination program that allows examinees to securely take a test using their own devices.

In the special en banc session today, 'decoding of bar exam results' will be done. Decoding is the process where the SC orders the Office of the Bar Confidant to open the sealed envelopes with the names of the candidates who successfully passed the exams.

The Philippine Bar Examination is the professional licensure examination for lawyers in the Philippines and the only professional exam not handled by PRC.

This prestigious exam is composed of the following subjects: Political and Public International Law (15%), Commercial and Taxation Laws (20%), Civil Law (20%), Labor Law and Social Legislation (10%), Criminal Law (10%) and Remedial Law, Legal and Judicial Ethics with Practical Exercises (25%).

This will be the first time that results of two bar examinations — the 2022 Bar and the 2023 Bar — were released in the same year and SC implemented shortened schedule of tests from the usual four-Sunday-schedule into three days instead.

In the 2022 bar exams, SC announced that 3,992 out of 9,183 (43.47%) hurdled the tests.
