THE SUPREME Court extended the deadline for the filing of applications for November 2022 Bar exams.

Associate Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa, the 2022 Bar Exams chairman, said the deadline was moved to August 15 from July 15.

The new deadline will give law graduates time to prepare and submit documentation. It will also allow the court to review and assess the adequacy of the applications to be received.

Caguioa said the tribunal was “informed that due to the variance in the academic calendars of the various law schools in the country, some law schools will close their academic year later than others and later than the close of the original application period.”

The 2022 Bar exams will be held in November.

“Further details with respect to the exact dates of the Bar examinations, as well as those pertaining to the Bar PLUS platform and the exam venue selections, will be announced in a later bulletin,” Caguioa said
