SC justice tells aspiring lawyers: Bar exams no time for doubt

One month before the start of the Bar Examinations, Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Lazaro-Javier congratulated aspiring lawyers for reaching the final stretch of their journey.

According to the schedule set by the Supreme Court, the Bar Exams will be held on 7, 10, and 14 September 2025.

In her message to Bar examinees, Lazaro-Javier reminded them to trust in themselves and in their preparations.

“Now is not the time for doubt. Instead, get excited. The finish line is closer than ever. You’ve got this,” the Bar Exams 2025 chair said.

She thanked the examinees for showing up and reminded them that their presence at this stage is already an achievement.

She added that even if they are not at 100% every single day, “your effort, your discipline, and your steadfast unyielding heart have brought you this far. That is more than enough.”

Lazaro-Javier also emphasized that the Bar Examinations measure more than just intelligence and legal knowledge.

She described the tests as “a test of faith, endurance, grit, and determination,” and expressed pride in all examinees for coming this far.
