SC may release 2012 Bar exam results on March 20


The Supreme Court is expected to release the results of the October 2012 Bar Exams on Wednesday next week or on March 20.
 
In a notice issued on Tuesday, the high tribunal sitting en banc said it would be holding a special session on March 20 "relative to the 2012 Bar examinations" at 10 a.m.
 
In past years, the SC en banc would always convene in a special session to approve the release of the Bar exam results on the same day.
 
More than 5,000 law school graduates took the Bar exams during the four Saturdays of October last year at the University of Santo Tomas along España Boulevard in Manila.
 
The number of examinees last October was lower than in 2011, in which 6,200 law school graduates took the exam.
 
It was the second time that the exams were held at UST, where security had been tightened since the grenade attack during the Bar exams in 2010 when it was still held at the De La Salle University along Taft Avenue. — Mark Merueñas/RSJ, GMA News
