DepEd provides support for mandatory continuing legal education of its lawyers

To help ensure that they can continue their functions in the agency, the Department of Education expressed support for continuing the legal education of its lawyers.

Citing Bar Matter No. 850 dated October 2, 2001, issued by the Supreme Court En Banc titled Revised Rules on the Continuing Legal Education for Members of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, DepEd noted that all members of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines are “required to undergo continuing legal education to ensure that throughout their career, they keep abreast with law and jurisprudence, to maintain the ethics of the profession, and to enhance the standards of the practice of law.

In the interest of the service, and according to the provisions of existing laws, rules, and regulations, DepEd expressed support to its lawyers employed in the DepEd Central Office , regional offices , and schools division offices and their need to register, attend, and ensure compliance with their MCLE requirements under Bar Matter No. 850 and other existing Supreme Court issuances, on official business.

The MCLE also aims to ensure that lawyers “maintain their continued good standing as members of the legal profession” and avoid “potential delinquency, non-compliance fee assessment, and disciplinary action that may, in turn, negatively affect their qualifications and/or the performance of their functions in the Department.”
