Lawyers Challenge 2026 SAN Conferment, Demand CJN Suspend Process

Lawyers under ALDRAP have demanded that the Chief Justice suspend the 2026 SAN conferment pending an appeal. They served a pre-action notice citing an ongoing suit at the Court of Appeal. On June 23, the LPPC, chaired by the CJN, published a shortlist of 89 applicants for final interviews. ALDRAP argues this violates a previous injunction on its alternative Blue Silks rank for non-litigation lawyers. The group warns it will seek certiorari to withdraw the shortlist and bar further actions until the appeal is decided by the Court of Appeal.
