THE bar examinations start this weekend and the whole rigmarole of sending off examinees with bands, flyers, streamers and cheers will play itself out — after a two-year respite brought about by the pandemic.

It was not always like this, in saner times. My parents took the bar examination without fanfare — they rose early in the morning without waking up the rest of the household to announce that they were off to something momentous, attended Mass at Quiapo Church and then proceeded to MLQ, not yet a university at the time, where the bar examinations were held. Alas, those simpler and more sober days have passed.

There is also little doubt that in happier times, our legislature in the Philippines had lawyers. We had good laws then. We have some good laws now, but we really need legislators with a firmer grasp of the law than mispronounced Latin maxims.'Barristers' is another curious term we have perverted in the Philippines by which law schools lend glamor to their examinees.
