This coming September 8 to 11, 2008, the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), Bohol chapter, in close coordination with the University of the Philippines (UP), Institute on Judicial Administration, will be holding a 36- units Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) seminar for all lawyers, prosecutors and judges at the Bohol Tropics Resort Hotel, this city.
Attendance in the full course legal education of 36- units is in compliance with the en-banc Supreme Court mandate addressed to all members of the IBP. While there are those who are exempted from attendance such as governors, congressmen and mayors while in office, the high court makes it compulsory for all other lawyers to attend the seminar under pain of being prohibited from the practice of law.
The IBP has already dispatched letters of invitation to all those required to attend, and we do hope that as the incumbent president of the organization, our Boholano lawyers will be able to participate in this mandated course.
Lawyers are known to be vanguards of justice and freedom. And true freedom is found in obedience to the mandates of the Supreme Court in the matter of the practice of law and attendance in the dynamic and continuing legal education program mandated by the highest court of the land.
