Under the 1987 Constitution, the Supreme Court retains the power to promulgate rules concerning the practice of law and the administration of the judiciary. The Court recently promulgated Rule 29-B, which requires every applicant for admission to the practice of law to complete a 40-hour 'Court Procedures and Ethics' online module, to be offered only by Court-approved providers, and to file a completion certificate with the application. The rule is published in the Official Gazette and takes effect 90 days after publication. A group of bar applicants challenges Rule 29-B as beyond the Court's power and as substantive education policy. Decide whether Rule 29-B is valid, with reasons.
