BAR BULLETIN NO. 2, S. 2022

MESSAGE FROM THE BAR CHAIRPERSON
AND THE BAR COVERAGE

The syllabus for each bar subject for the 2022 Bar Examinations has been
uploaded to the Supreme Court (SC) Official Website at http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/

The syllabi for the 2022 Bar Examinations have been crafted after a careful
review of the previous Bar syllabi and a refinement of the same with the end of
ensuring that the Bar Examinations truly tests basic competence of prospective
lawyers. True to the Court’s continuing efforts to undertake crucial Bar reforms, the
coverages for the bar subjects have been streamlined to revolve only around central
legal concepts, their schedules have been rearranged and their grade weights have
been reapportioned accordingly.

Let the 2022 Bar Syllabi serve as a practical guide to all the examinees in their
preparation for the forthcoming Bar Examinations, as all questions will only be
formulated on the laws, rules, issuances and jurisprudence pertinent to the topics
included therein as of the cut-off date of June 30, 2021.

In its efforts to return to a necessary normalcy, and rising from the strength of
crucial reforms undertaken alongside the integration of safety measures in the face
of the currently inescapable pandemic, the Court hopes that the 2022 Bar
Examinations continues to fold back into its distinguished degree of rigor. As you
overcome, may God be with you.
