THE filing of applications for the 2026 Shari’ah Special Bar Examinations is now open, the Supreme Court (SC) announced.
In its Special Shari’ah Bar Bulletin No. 2 dated Dec. 1, SC Associate Justice Henri Jean Paul Inting extended greetings to all aspiring Shari’ah lawyers.
“The path to serving justice under the Shari’ah legal system is noble, purposeful, and transformative—not only for you, but for the communities you will one day serve. As we open the application period, may this serve as a gentle reminder to ready yourselves for the journey ahead. This undertaking remains part of the Court’s continued commitment to strengthening and advancing the Shari’ah legal system in our country,” Inting said.
He said he is eager to welcome future Shari’ah lawyers, reminding them to embrace the responsibility that comes with the profession.
