No confirmed citationMarch 18, 1954
Study material, not legal advice. Written and checked by the PhilippineLaws team to the best of our knowledge; not reviewed by a lawyer. A digest is a summary — the full decision is the authority, so read it before you cite it.
Don't cite this from here. The docket on file (G.R. No. L-18684) could not be matched to any decision in the library, so it is not shown as a citation above. The case may well be real — find the reported citation before you use it.

SC's Exclusive Rule-Making Power over the Bar
Why it matters
Struck down the 'Bar Flunkers Act' which sought to lower passing rates to admit more lawyers. Held that the power to admit members to the Philippine Bar is a judicial function exclusively vested in the Supreme Court; Congress cannot legislate admission requirements.
Digest
No digest has been checked for this case yet. A draft is never shown — read the ruling itself, or write your own digest in the reader.
