On June 3, 2008, the Philippine Supreme Court issued a resolution addressing the declining participation of lawyers in the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) program. The court mandated that all practicing attorneys must include their MCLE Certificate of Compliance or Certificate of Exemption in all pleadings submitted to courts or quasi-judicial bodies. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the dismissal of the case and removal of the pleadings from the court records. This new rule is set to take effect 60 days after its publication, which occurred on June 26, 2008.
