In Re: Integration of the Bar

No confirmed citationJanuary 9, 1973

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-49112) 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.

Why it matters

Formally established the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) as the official national organization of all lawyers. Compulsory membership was upheld as a valid exercise of the Court's power to regulate the legal profession in the public interest.
