MANILA, Philippines — A total of 12,186 aspiring lawyers have applied to take this year’s Bar examinations, which will be held in September, according to the Supreme Court.
The SC said the 12,186 applicants paid the fee following the April 5 deadline while 60 others discontinued the process.
The lists of unconditionally approved, conditionally approved and denied applicants would be released in batches, it added.
“All applicants are advised to regularly check their respective Bar Applicant Registration Information System and Tech Assistance accounts to know the status of their application,” the notice read.
The SC said it is still finalizing the list of local testing centers.
This year’s Bar exams, chaired by Associate Justice Mario Lopez, will be held on Sept. 8, 11 and 15.
The number of applicants for this year is higher than the 10,387 who took the exams last year.
