MCLE certificate required in pleadings
On 3 June 2008, the Supreme Court promulgated a resolution in Bar Matter 1922 requiring all lawyers to indicate the number and date of issue of their MCLE certificate of compliance or exemption in pleadings (as well as motions) filed in courts and quasi-judicial bodies. MCLE stands for the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education program of the Supreme Court for the members of the Philippine legal profession.
Failure to disclose may result in the dismissal of the case and the expunction of the pleadings from the records.
The full text of the resolution, which becomes effective sixty days following its publication (or on 24 August 2008), may be viewed HERE.
