In Re: Roll of Attorneys
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-ROLLATTY) 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 ruled that female lawyers have the discretion to use either their maiden name or married name in official court records and pleadings, and neither choice may be used as a ground to question the validity of a filing.
Digest
