The IBP said in a statement that the three-day event that will be held in Davao City will also celebrate its golden anniversary with the theme “IBP at 50: Looking Back, Moving Forward.” “More than 3,500 lawyers are expected to attend one of the biggest gatherings held by the IBP thus far,” the IBP said in a statement. It said the Davao City event will provide “a forum for discussion on the IBP’s former leaders and the significant events and programs that have shaped the IBP, the legal profession, and the rule of law in our nation, as well as how all of these have affected the administration of justice.” It also said the convention will “cover topics about the IBP’s activities, allowing a chance for the leadership to accept resolutions from the membership during the plenary session on proposals about the IBP, much like any event where the topic of justice is at the center of the debate.” Read more: https://mb.com.ph/2023/02/15/ibp-members-set-mandatory-nationalconvention-in-davao-city-feb-16-18/ 📸: Integrated Bar of the Philippines
