Description
In 2020, the maiden volume of Bar Essentials in Commercial Law was released. Since then, the Supreme Court has made great strides to upgrade legal education and modernize the admission to the practice of law, consistent with the Court’s Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations (SPJI). Specifically, the Court shifted the framework in the conduct of bar examinations from the
traditional pen-and-paper method to the digital platform. Another shift is from the original eight subjects to six core subjects, with Commercial Law and Taxation Law being conjoined for their close affinity. Remedial law was fused with legal ethics as they complement each other.
Again, while it is nigh impossible to cover every nook and cranny of Commercial and Taxation Laws and encase them into one reference material, this author earnestly hopes that this presentation of pertinent laws, previous bar questions, jurisprudential precedents, decisional rules and prescient bar problems will continue to be a beacon of light to laymen, students, aspiring lawyers, academicians as well as fellow members of the Bar and Bench.
