In Re: Petition for Mass Oath-Taking
No confirmed citationJanuary 1, 2025
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. 2025-MASS-OATH-TAKING) 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.

Female Lawyers' Name in Roll of Attorneys
Why it matters
Formally ruled that female lawyers have full discretion to use their maiden name or married name in the Roll of Attorneys and all official legal documents. Marriage does not compel a woman to change her professional name, reflecting a modern interpretation of civil status.
