No topnotchers for 2021 Bar Exams

MANILA — Don’t expect to see the top 10 passers of the 2021 Bar Exams when the results are announced next year.That’s because the Supreme Court has done away with the traditional announcement of the top 10, according to the Bar Exams chair himself, SC Associate Justice Marvic Leonen.“No top Ten for the 2021 examinations. No competition. Instead a list of exemplary passers,” he tweeted Friday.schools ranked: % of their passers, exemplary— Help others. Humanity will endure.

No Top 10 Bar topnotchers for the 2020/21 Bar Exams, Assoc Justice Marvic Leonen, the Bar chair, announced. This was confirmed by a Bar bulletin released by the Supreme Court which only gives those who score 85% up recognition for exemplary performance. pic.twitter.

The Bar Exams have been known to be tricky and unpredictable. Because the questions are mostly essay and open-ended, examiners have to pore through thousands of handwritten booklets in the past, although the exams this year will be computerized.

"Those come after the examinees pass the examinations and contend with the challenges posed by their clients’ situations, considering the demands of social justice and their individual ethical choices."The resulting scores in each of the 8 subjects will be tallied and given their respective weights, ranging from 20 percent for remedial law to 5 percent for legal ethics and practical exercises.

A Bar examinee needs to get a 75 percent grade in order to pass, although the Supreme Court has not ruled out the possibility of adjusting the passing grade.Meanwhile, in an earlier bulletin released Thursday, Leonen clarified that the period for submitting applications for the Bar Exams is from July 15 to September 15 this year. The period is only for the submission of applications; the approval by the SC en banc could come later.

That's how Leonen handles!! 🤣🤣🤣
