MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court on Monday announced extending the deadline for the filing of application to take the 2022 Bar examination from July 15 to August 15.
Under Bar Bulletin No. 4 signed by 2022 Bar Examinations Chair Associate Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa, the adjustment was made after they were informed of variance in various law schools’ academic calendars.
“Some law schools will close their academic year later than others and later than the close of the original application period,” read the Bar Bulletin.
“In order to give all interested law graduates ample time to prepare and submit their documentary requirements, while still ensuring that the different offices of the Supreme Court will have enough time to process and verify the adequacy of the applications to be received, the application period is hereby extended to August 15, 2022,” the SC said.
Applications for the 2022 Bar examination are also through the Bar Personalized Login Unified System or Bar PLUS. This is the same system used during the 2020/21 Bar examination as part of the court’s step into a digitized and localized examination.
