Note: The PDFs
on various legal procedures in civil and criminal cases
are for the use of the general public, law students and bar
candidates. You can freely download these PDF materials and
use them for your own reference, or print and distribute them
to your friends or colleagues. You must not, however, edit
these materials or use them commercially. You must not also
upload them to any website, the cloud, or file-sharing platform.
Please take note that I designed these
materials in 2003 and have not been able to make major revisions.
Please check the Supreme Court website for any change in the
legal procedures.
The use of graphics or cartoons to illustrate
the PDF materials on legal procedures is in keeping with the
theory of Jerry Lucas, renowned memory expert and one of the
NBA's 50 greatest players of all time. He said that people
tend to remember words, things or ideas better and faster
when they are associated with funny, fantastic or outlandish
images. The use of these graphics also lessens the intimidation
felt by people (non-lawyers and non-law students) when studying
legal topics.
While these materials can help in some
ways in understanding our judicial system, people facing legal
problems should always consult a lawyer in person.
For free legal assistance, please contact
the DOJ Action Center. The DOJAC acts on complaints, requests
for assistance and legal queries of walk-in clients of the
DOJ. For legal assistance please visit the Department of Justice
Action Center (DOJAC) Main Office, Ground Floor, Multi-Purpose
Building, Padre Faura Street, Ermita, Manila; Telephone no:

Prosecution Offices in your town or city.
