SC to 2023 Bar applicants: Disregard previous RQN schedule

The Supreme Court on Thursday directed 2023 Bar applicants to disregard its previous Random Queuing Number (RQN) schedule.

In a revised Bar Bulletin, the Office of the 2023 Bar Chair said RQNs with updated time slots will be sent to the BARISTA accounts and BARISTA-registered emails of all qualified applicants.

The RQN will determine the time slot during which the applicant may select and finalize his preferred local testing center (LTC).

“Considering the unprecedented influx of applications received just before the deadline, and in pursuit of a more equitable venue selection process for all stakeholders, the mechanics as to the RQN time slot allocation and scheduling is hereby updated,” the court said.

“Please note that the updated time slot received shall govern,” it later added.
