For a person to be admitted to the bar and the practice of Law in the Philippines, he/she must take and pass the Philippine Bar Examination first. It is the national licensure exam for admission to the practice of law exclusively administered by the Supreme Court Bar Examination Committee. It is conducted during the four Sundays of September, or October, or November of every year. Aside from the requirement of a bachelor's degree (with academic credits in certain required subjects) and a professional law degree (LL.B. and J.D), every applicant for admission as a member of the bar must be a citizen of the Philippines, at least twenty-one years of age, of good moral character, and resident of the Philippines; and must produce before the Supreme Court satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and that no charges against him, involving moral turpitude, have been filed or are pending in any court in the Philippines. Candidates who meet all the admission requirements usually enroll in special review classes after graduating from law school. These programs are held from April to September in different schools and review centers.
