The Supreme Court Bar Association is pulling back the curtain on what could be a defining moment in its electoral history. As the SCBA Election 2025 approaches, a public debate has been scheduled for May 19 at 3:45 PM on the Supreme Court Lawns—a no-frills, all-eyes showdown where candidates vying for the posts of President and Secretary will present their vision, policies, and game plans to the Members of the Bar.
Not just a routine box-ticking exercise, this debate unfolds under the mandate of Resolution No. 1 dated February 18, 2003, with the Election Committee stepping in as moderators and overseers. The event won’t just echo through the lawns—its full proceedings will be uploaded on the SCBA’s official website, bringing transparency to the forefront.
Expect sharp questions, strategic pitches, and pointed policies, especially as the clock ticks closer to polling day—May 20, 2025. This year’s election carries added weight, thanks to a Supreme Court directive issued on May 6, 2025. The directive reserves the Secretary post exclusively for a woman candidate. It also mandates that one-third of the Executive Committee seats—three out of nine—be filled by women, along with two out of six seats among Senior Executive Members.
As the legal community watches closely, what’s at stake isn’t just leadership—it’s direction, inclusion, and the tone for the SCBA’s future. Let the debate begin.
