BAR TOPNOTCHERS 2012

BAR TOPNOTCHERS 2012

Bar exams are believed to be the most difficult among licensure examinations. The release of the results of the Bar examinations is a much awaited annual event not only by law graduates and students to see whether their classmates, friends or relatives made it to the list of Bar passers but also by others to see how certain colleges and universities fare.

I could still vividly recall how thrilled we were when my brother passed the Bar exams way way back. I was hopping like a Kangaroo as I excitedly rushed to my brother who was busy playing basketball to tell him about the good news.

No question about it.  The parents and family of the Top 10 Bar Passers are very very proud of them. Congratulations!
