Re : Voluntary Bar Associations
Mabuhay:
May we respectfully suggest that, in all major issuances and new policies or activities of the Supreme Court which may affect the Bar, the VOLUNTARY BAR ASSOCIATIONS nationwide be consulted, in addition to the usual consultation that the Supreme Court makes with the mandatory Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP).
The thought incidentally to came to mind while reading just now the recent issuance of the Supreme Court in Bar Matter No. 2012, February 10, 2009 (re: mandatory legal aid service for practising lawyers), which limits only to the IBP the matter of consultations on the implementing rules and regulations thereof.
Have a blessed and liberated day. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Atty. Manuel J. Laserna Jr.
Founder and Board Consultant
